The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction was held on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, with 577 players up for signing.
Defending champion Kolkata Knight Riders bought seven players during the auction on the first day, and raised eyebrows by splurging on all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer.
KKR prioritised reacquiring its former players and succeeded in bringing its core back.
