The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 auction was held on November 24 and 25, 2024 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This season marked a significant step in reshaping the rosters of various teams ahead of the upcoming season.
The auction was held in the beautiful Abady Al-Johar Arena. The arena witnessed record bids, strategic acquisitions, and the emergence of some young talents. With only a month remaining for IPL 2025, we are excited about presenting all you need to know about IPL Auction 2025.
Let’s get started!
This year, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to host the IPL 2025 auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The cricket board of Saudi Arabia was thrilled by this as they are looking for more active participation in cricket.
This is the second consecutive year when they have gone outside India to host this event. Last year, the IPL auction was held in Dubai.
This year the auction took place on November 24 and 25th last year.
This year, the IPL 2025 auction was highlighted by unprecedented bids, with franchises investing heavily in key players for them.
Here are some of the record-breaking and notable acquisitions at IPL Auction 2025.
The mega auction for IPL 2025 witnessed historic spending by franchises as they spent heavily on some key players like Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer.
It was a surprise for everyone when Punjab went on to purchase Shreyas Iyer for 26.75 crores. After that, we saw the 27-crore bid of Rishabh Pant by Lucknow Super Giants. Now, they have made him the captain of the franchise.
The most surprising signing of the auction was the re-signing of capable all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer for 23.75 Crore by KKR. Along with this, RR also made a record by acquiring the services of a 13-year-old kid Vaibhav Suryavanshi for 1.10 crore. He became the youngest player ever to be signed by an IPL team.
All 10 teams signed a total of 182 players and they splurged 639.15 crore rupees. Now, we will look at the individual teams and who they signed for this year.
