A staggering 574 players are up for grabs over the next two days. Among them, 48 are capped Indian players, while 193 are overseas capped players. Initially, 1,574 players had registered, but the final list was pruned down by about 1,000. The pool now comprises 366 Indian players and 208 overseas players, with just three from associate nations.
Ahead of the auction, the 10 franchises collectively retained 46 players. With each squad allowed a maximum of 25 players, including up to eight overseas players, there are effectively 204 slots to fill.
As this is a mega-auction, several high-profile players are on offer. The excitement kicks off with the two Marquee Sets, each featuring six big-name players. Of the 12 marquee players, seven are Indians.
Set 1 includes Jos Buttler, Shreyas Iyer, Kagiso Rabada, Rishabh Pant, Arshdeep Singh, and Mitchell Starc. Notably, Shreyas Iyer, who led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to their maiden IPL title last year, was not retained, making his presence on the block a major highlight.
Set 2 features KL Rahul, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Liam Livingstone, and David Miller. Each of these marquee players carries a base price of Rs 2 crore and will be auctioned during the first hour and a half of proceedings.
Making a comeback this season is the Right to Match (RTM) card, last seen during the 2018 auction. For those unfamiliar, the RTM card allows teams to re-acquire players they were unable to retain. For example, if Mumbai Indians successfully bid for a player who played for Delhi Capitals last season, Delhi can use the RTM card to reclaim the player at the same price.
This year, however, there’s an added twist. Teams can counter the RTM claim by increasing their bid. In such cases, the original team wishing to use the RTM card must outbid the new offer to secure the player, potentially sparking intense bidding wars.
It’s worth noting that not all teams can use the RTM card. Franchises were allowed to retain up to six players prior to the auction, and those who maxed out this quota are ineligible for RTM. As a result, KKR and Rajasthan Royals (RR), having retained their full six players, cannot use the RTM option.
The stage is set, the players are ready, and the drama is about to unfold. Let the mega-auction begin!
The Marquee Set players will be the first to go under the gavel today, meaning any record-breaking bids could be made before 5:30 PM IST. Among the 12 names in this elite group, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul stand out as headline attractions. However, it’s worth noting that neither has the T20 stats to rival overseas stars like Jos Buttler or David Miller, raising the possibility of a surprise in today’s bidding.
Another name to watch is Yuzvendra Chahal, a consistent wicket-taker who has been surprisingly released by both Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in recent years. These dynamics could lead to fierce competition for some of the overseas players and unexpected big-money deals.
Available Purses for the Auction
Each franchise began with a ₹120 crore purse for this year's auction, marking a 20% increase from last season. However, varying retention strategies mean teams now have different amounts left to spend.
Punjab Kings lead the pack with a massive ₹110.5 crore purse, having retained only two uncapped players, Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh. At the other end of the spectrum, Rajasthan Royals have the smallest purse, with just ₹41 crore. Notably, Punjab's purse is significantly larger than second-placed RCB, who have ₹83 crore, which is closer to the average range this season.
Here’s a breakdown of each team’s remaining purse:
Punjab Kings: ₹110.5 crore
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: ₹83 crore
Delhi Capitals: ₹73 crore
Gujarat Titans: ₹69 crore
Lucknow Super Giants: ₹69 crore
Chennai Super Kings: ₹55 crore
Kolkata Knight Riders: ₹51 crore
Mumbai Indians: ₹45 crore
Sunrisers Hyderabad: ₹45 crore
Rajasthan Royals: ₹41 crore

Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting expressed his ambition to transform the franchise into one of the IPL's powerhouses. Reflecting on his experience with successful teams like Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals, where he helped lead DC to multiple playoff appearances, Ponting highlighted the appeal of Punjab Kings' younger talent.
“The main attraction was the opportunity to start from scratch,” he said. “The goal is to make the franchise one of the powerhouses of the IPL, creating a dynamic and fun-loving environment that everyone wants to be a part of,” Ponting told Star Sports.
BCCI has confirmed the dates for the next three IPL seasons in a letter to the franchises. IPL 2025 is set to take place from March 14 to May 25.
The accelerated auction process will begin after the first 116 players have been presented for bidding. Ricky Bhui, listed as the 117th player, is part of the second group of uncapped batters.
This phase will be divided into two parts. In the first, franchises can nominate players from numbers 117 to 574 for inclusion in the auction. The second part will involve unsold or unpresented players from the full list of 574, allowing franchises another chance to re-nominate them for bidding.
The auction will start with the first set in marquee players. It includes Jos Buttler, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh and Mitchell Starc
IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal gets the IPL 2025 Auction going with an address. Dhumal thanked the supporters and sponsors for making the IPL a great success. Auctioneer Mallika Sagar takes stage.
The first player to go under the hammer in the TATA IPL Auction 2025 is Arshdeep Singh picked by BCCI secretary Jay Shah. His base price is INR 2 Crore.
And that concludes the first bid of the year. After much deliberation, SRH raised their bid to Rs 18 crore. PBKS then exercised their RTM card once again, securing Arshdeep Singh’s return to their squad.

Shamin will be wearing the orange of SRH, partnering with Pat Cummins in the attack. That’s a fearsome duo for the other teams to face.
Miller's base price was Rs. 1.50 crore, and the bidding began with Gujarat Titans. Royal Challengers Bengaluru quickly placed their bid, followed by Delhi Capitals entering the fray. RCB continued their pursuit, but DC pulled out at Rs. 7 crore. Lucknow Super Giants then made their move at Rs. 7.50 crore, and RCB stepped back. Gujarat Titans chose not to exercise their RTM option.
Yuzvendra Chahal's bidding has soared to Rs. 14 crore, with Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants fiercely competing for the IPL's all-time leading wicket-taker.
Gujarat Titans start the bidding for Mohammed Siraj at Rs. 2 crore, with CSK quickly joining the race. As the price crosses Rs. 8 crore, CSK pulls out. Gujarat Titans continue to lead with a bid of Rs. 8.25 crore, but Rajasthan Royals enter the competition. RR raises the bid to Rs. 12 crore, but GT counters it.

The IPL Auction 2025 delivered a mix of expected and surprising outcomes.

Shreyas Iyer also fetched a massive Rs 26.75 crore, surpassing KL Rahul's Rs 14 crore by a significant margin, which was unexpected.

With a base price of Rs. 2 crore, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans engaged in an intense bidding war for the IPL 2024 Purple Cap winner.
