The IPL (Indian Premier League) 2025 mega auction was one that saw several players get roped in by the franchises. The auction, held in Jeddah on November 24 and 25, saw the 10 franchises empty their purses in hopes of building the best possible squads ahead of the new season of the IPL.

The 10 teams build their squads through an auction. On Sunday, Rishabh Pant, India’s swashbuckling wicketkeeper-batter, became the most expensive player in the IPL’s 16-year history when the Lucknow Super Giants paid $3.2 million for his services. The auction price represents the player’s salary.
