IPL 2025 mega auction will be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on 24 and 25 November. Bidding will be held on 577 players at the Abadi Al Johar Arena in Jeddah. Let us tell you, the teams have already retained 46 players, so now only 204 slots can be filled during the auction. This time many big players are going to be seen in the auction. Which also includes some players who were captains of some team or the other in the last season. Among these 577 players, there are 5 players who can break all records by bidding in the mega auction.
Rishabh Pant is one of the biggest names in the mega auction for IPL 2025. Many veterans believe that this star wicketkeeper batsman will get Rs 20-25 crore in the auction. Rishabh Pant was the captain of Delhi Capitals till last season, but this time he has not been retained. Many teams need new captains, in such a situation many teams can bet on them. Till now, the biggest bid in the IPL auction has been Rs 24.75 crore, which was made by KKR for Mitchell Starc. This time this record is in danger.
Team India's star batsman Shreyas Iyer will also be seen in this auction. Shreyas Iyer had made Kolkata Knight Riders the champion under his captaincy last season. But this time KKR has not retained him. Iyer's captaincy record in IPL has been quite excellent, hence he is going to be in great demand. Shreyas Iyer has kept his base price for the mega auction at Rs 2 crore. His name is in the first set, which means bidding on Iyer will be placed at the beginning of the mega auction itself. Apart from making Kolkata Knight Riders the champion under his captaincy, Iyer has also taken the Delhi team to the final once.
KL Rahul is also going to be in the eyes of many teams this time. Along with captaincy, he can also do wicketkeeping. He was the captain of Lucknow Super Giants team last season. Rahul has played 132 matches in IPL so far and has scored 4683 runs. He has four centuries and 37 half-centuries in his name in this league. He scores runs in IPL at a strike rate of 134.60.
Indian team's star bowler Arshdeep Singh has not been retained by Punjab Kings, he is currently one of the most successful bowlers in T20. Arshdeep was getting Rs 4 crore as salary till last season. But this time Arshdeep Singh may remain very expensive. Arshdeep Singh has consistently performed well for Team India in the T20 format, for which he can be rewarded during the mega auction.
Jos Buttler's name is also included in the list of IPL auction. Butler has been playing for Rajasthan Royals for the last several seasons. His figures in IPL are quite impressive. He has played 107 matches in IPL so far and has scored 3582 runs at an average of 38.11. These also include 19 half-centuries and 7 centuries. He is one of the big match winners of IPL, who can fetch huge amount in the auction.
