Among these 13 marquee players, only David Miller has a base price ₹1.5 Crore, while the others have kept their base price on ₹2 crore. Australian pacer Mitchell Starc broke auction records last time when he signed with Kolkata Knight Riders for ₹DKK 24.75 million. He was picked up by Delhi Capitals for ₹11.75 crore this time. Shreyas Iyer has already broken his record this year.

Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings are trying to set their squad for next year from a pool of 574 players in these two-day long IPL Auction 2025. On Day 1, however, only 84 top cricketers will go under the hammer. On Day 2, the 10 franchises will nominate a set of players who will be auctioned in an accelerated manner, followed by the final round where the unsold players will be back up for auction again.

There are 204 spots to be filled in the 10 teams that have different goals and agendas based on the composition of their teams. For example, two teams – KKR and RR have no RTM card available as they have exercised their right to retain a maximum number of six players. Among the others, PBKS has the most RTM cards (4). Punjab Kings also carry the biggest purse in this auction as they have retained only two players from the last edition. PBKS ( ₹110.5 crore) has more than double the auction purse of RR, MI, CSK, KKR and SRH.
