The IPL 2025 Auction is underway, and it’s already making waves with some thrilling bids and dramatic moments. The excitement started off high as big names went under the hammer, and the teams have been splashing huge amounts to build their squads for the upcoming season. Let’s dive into the live updates and highlights from this year’s auction.
The first major surprise came when Rishabh Pant broke records by being sold to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for a staggering INR 27 crore. This deal marks one of the highest ever for an Indian player, setting the tone for the auction. Shreyas Iyer followed suit, also breaking records, securing a massive INR 26.75 crore deal with Punjab Kings (PBKS).

In a flurry of bidding activity, Ravindra Jadeja reunited with Chennai Super Kings (CSK), further bolstering the squad that has already been a dominant force in IPL history. The bidding for allrounders, including big names like Aiden Markram and Harshal Patel, has been intense, with teams battling for the best players to fill their roster spots.
One of the most notable bidding wars was for Jake Fraser-McGurk, the explosive batter who returned to Delhi Capitals (DC) after a fierce tussle with PBKS. On the flip side, veteran players like David Warner went unsold, which left many scratching their heads, considering his impressive IPL history. But as with all auctions, the market can be unpredictable, and Warner’s absence is just one of many surprises.
Punjab Kings, under the leadership of Ricky Ponting, have been particularly aggressive, securing key players like Shreyas Iyer and others. They’re not shying away from big purchases this year, hoping to create a winning combination with the high-profile buys. Similarly, Gujarat Titans (GT) have been carefully selecting players to fill specific needs, focusing on players like Mohammed Siraj to bolster their bowling attack.
As expected, CSK has been on the lookout for top-tier players to complement their core group, and they managed to secure the services of top talents like Devon Conway and Rahul Tripathi. CSK’s strategy of combining seasoned pros with emerging stars seems to be paying off, and they could be one of the teams to watch out for.
The IPL 2025 Auction continues to unfold with unexpected twists and intense competition for every player. As teams complete their buying decisions, it’s clear that the season ahead will be a thrilling one with some fresh lineups and game-changing buys. Keep an eye on the live updates, as we watch these high-stakes moves shape the future of IPL!
