How much will Rishabh Pant earn in IPL 2025?
Rishabh Pant’s availability has generated immense interest, especially from teams like Punjab Kings , who have a purse of Rs 110.5 crore left, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (Rs 83 crore), and Lucknow Super Giants (Rs 69 crore), who are looking for a new captain and a star player. Gujarat Titans , with Rs 69 crore, may also be in the running, although they don’t necessarily need a captain.
The auction, scheduled for the third week of December, promises to be an exciting event, with teams having to buy at least 15 players due to the Rs 75 crore retention cap on international players and the availability of Right To Match cards.
While Rishabh Pant’s differences with Delhi Capitals ‘ management led to his release, he is now poised to become one of the most sought-after players in the auction.
“Rishabh’s real bidding will start from Rs 20 crore onwards. There will be three teams who can afford to bid big for him. One is Punjab Kings with Rs 110.5 crore in its kitty. They need a new captain and a brand. RCB has Rs 83 crore and LSG have Rs 69 crore and they also need a new captain,” a top official of a franchise told PTI.

” Gujarat Titans don’t need a captain but they also have Rs 69 crore. DC has Rs 73 crore but why would they go for someone, they released under acrimonious circumstances,” he added.
While Suresh Raina might have raised hopes of CSK fans about Pant joining Dhoni but with Rs 55 crore, they can hardly even get to a ballpark figure and N Srinivasan’s team doesn’t function on whims and fancies.
The industry insiders expect Rishabh Pant to get anything between Rs 25 crore to Rs 30 crore.
