New Delhi: Only a few hours are left for the start of today’s 2 IPL 2025 mega auction. Everyone from players to fans and franchises are waiting for this event to be held in Jeddah on November 24th and 25th. More than 1500 players had signed up for the two-day mega auction, but only 574 made the final list before three new players were included. Of the shortlisted players, 367 are Indian and 210 are foreign players, including 4 players from associated countries. The auction will include 320 uncapped Indian players and 12 uncapped foreign players. Just before the auction, Arjun Tendulkar, son of legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar, has shot himself in the foot.

These Indian cricketers are the contenders for the highest bid:
This time the mega auction is going to be a big one because some star Indian cricketers who are in high demand will be up for bid. There are full chances that the highest bid will be placed on Rishabh Pant, who was released from Delhi Capitals. Besides him, star batsman Shreyas Iyer, who made KKR champions under his captaincy last season, is also in the auction. Star Indian batsman KL Rahul’s name also features in the upcoming auction. Many other such international cricketers feature in the auction.

What has Arjun Tendulkar done?
On the one hand, the players in the auction try to keep themselves in the race to get a big amount by performing well. On the other hand, Arjun Tendulkar has shot himself in the foot by bowling a very expensive spell in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy a day before the auction. Arjun conceded 48 runs in his four overs in the match between Goa and Mumbai and he did not get a single hit.

Will there be no buyer now?
With this performance, Arjun Tendulkar has given a major dent in his hopes of being sold in the auction. However, we cannot guarantee whether he will be bought or not in the auction, but of course, IPL franchises will take a decision to add players to their squad based on recent performance. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see which team bids for Arjun Tendulkar and how much amount he will be able to get in the mega auction.

This is the base price:
Arjun Tendulkar was released by the Mumbai Indians ahead of the upcoming auction. His base price is Rs 30 lakh. Talking about his IPL experience, he started his career as a net bowler for MI and went to UAE for IPL 2020. MI rewarded him in the next season and bought him for a base price of Rs 20 lakh. Arjun has been with MI since 2021. He has played only five matches for them. He remained on the bench in IPL 2021 and 2022. He played four matches in IPL 2023 and one match in 2024.
