About the 2025 auction
How the auction worked and what changed from the one before
The 2025 auction was a mega auction, held at the start of a new cycle of player contracts: each franchise kept only a handful of its players and bought the rest of its squad in the room. That is why 182 players were sold, against 72 at the 2024 auction.
The franchises spent ₹639.15 crore, up 15.9% on the ₹551.70 crore spent at the last mega auction, in 2022.
Eight players were kept by the franchise they had played for before, on a right-to-match card, which lets a franchise take a player back by matching the winning bid for them. The most expensive was Arshdeep Singh, kept by Punjab Kings for ₹18 crore.
1,574 players registered for the 2025 auction and 182 were sold.
