The IPL 2025 Mega Auction has set the cricket world on fire with dizzying bids and surprising results. Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant emerged as the most expensive player in the history of IPL, fetching an astounding ₹27 crore. Close behind was Shreyas Iyer who went for ₹26.75 crore, underscoring the high demand for Indian talent.
However, the auction also delivered unexpected shocks as seasoned IPL veterans remained unsold. Big names like Kane Williamson, Shardul Thakur, Ajinkya Rahane, Glenn Phillips and Aiden Markram failed to find participants, raising eyebrows among fans and pundits alike.
Former India U-19 captain Prithvi Shaw, once touted as the next big thing, also went unsold despite a modest base price of Rs 75 lakh. Other notable Indian players like Mayank Agarwal (₹1 crore) and Ajinkya Rahane (₹1.5 crore) were unable to secure bids, highlighting the fierce competition and changing dynamics of the auction.
As franchises splash out with new talent and international stars, the unsold list serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the IPL. With the auction now concluded, all eyes are on the upcoming season to see how these mega deals translate into performances on the pitch.
