Jeddah, 24 November (HIST). The first day of the mega auction for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia has ended. As expected, Indian players were showered with huge amounts of money on Sunday. A total of 84 players were bid on Sunday, out of which Rs 467.95 crore was spent on 72 players, while 12 players were not bought by anyone. Prominent among the unsold players were veteran players like Devdutt Padikkal, Jonny Bairstow and David Warner, who could not find any buyer.
In the auction process, Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer were bid heavily and both the players were sold at record prices. First Shreyas was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 26.75 crore. Shreyas became the most expensive player in IPL history till that time. However, after some time, Rishabh Pant entered the auction and was bought by Lucknow Supergiants for Rs 27 crore. Pant thus became the player sold at the highest price in the IPL auction. Pant and Shreyas left behind the record of Mitchell Starc (25 crores) made last year in this matter.
Apart from Pant and Shreyas, big bids were also made on Venkatesh Iyer on the first day, who was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for Rs 23.75 crore.
