    IPL 2025 Auction: Pant, Rahul, Iyer To Push The Bar High In Jeddah On Opening Day

    Indian Premier League: One of the gala events of the cricketing world - the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction - will take centre stage in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday. With months of off-field strategy and rigorous scouting, it will all come down to pure business as 10 franchises would look to get the best possible squads for the 2025 season and beyond.

    In all, 577 players including 367 Indians and 210 overseas will be testing their fate to fill the maximum of 204 slots (70 overseas) available for the upcoming season. Among Indian players, 48 are capped and the remaining are uncapped professionals while 197 capped overseas and 12 uncapped foreign players will be up for grabs. This year, three players from Associate nations will also test their luck.

    The auction proceedings will kick off with the first set of marquee players featuring the likes of Indian stars Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer - all three of them led their respective teams last season but were not retained by their respective franchises - with a base price of Rs 2 crore. It is anticipated that Pant could be one of the most expensive players in the tournament's history with Delhi Capitals having the advantage of using the right-to-match card (RTM).
