The IPL 2025 Mega Auction has set the cricketing world abuzz with staggering bids and surprising outcomes. Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant emerged as the most expensive player in IPL history, fetching a jaw-dropping ₹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 takers, raising eyebrows among fans and pundits alike.
India’s former U-19 captain Prithvi Shaw, once touted as the next big thing, also went unsold despite a modest base price of ₹75 lakh. Other notable Indian players like Mayank Agarwal (₹1 crore) and Ajinkya Rahane (₹1.5 crore) were unable to secure bids, highlighting the auction’s fierce competition and shifting dynamics.
As franchises splurged on emerging talent and international stars, the unsold list serves as a reminder of the IPL’s unpredictable nature. With the auction now concluded, all eyes are on the upcoming season to see how these mega deals translate into on-field performances.
