IPL Auction 2025 Day 2: In the IPL 2025 mega auction, all 10 teams together spent Rs 467.95 crore on the first day. Due to this, very little money was left in the purses of the teams on the second day. Despite this, high bids were placed on many Indian players on the second day. Apart from Bhuvneshwar Kumar being bought by RCB for Rs 10.75 crore, a lot of money was also showered on Indian fast bowlers. So let us know about those 3 Indian players, on whom Lakshmi ji was very kind on the second day of the auction.
1. Deepak Chahar – 9.25 crore (Mumbai Indians)
Fast bowler Deepak Chahar had been playing for Chennai Super Kings since 2018. He was bought by Mumbai Indians in the mega auction by bidding Rs 9.25 crore. MI had not been able to buy Bhuvneshwar Kumar earlier, but was successful in buying Deepak in his place. Deepak, who has been effective with the new ball, has taken 58 wickets so far in his IPL career.
2. Mukesh Kumar – 8 crores (Delhi Capitals)
Mukesh Kumar has proved to be one of the most emerging bowlers in the cricket world in the last 2-3 years. Delhi Capitals bought him for Rs 8 crore using the Right to Match card. This deal was also a profitable deal for Mukesh because till last season Delhi Capitals was paying him a salary of Rs 5.5 crore. Mukesh has taken 24 wickets after playing 20 matches in his IPL career so far.
3. Akashdeep – 8 crores (LSG)
Akashdeep has been a part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore squad since 2022, but he has created a sensation in international cricket by debuting for India this year. Obviously, after coming to Team India and performing well, his brand value has increased tremendously. Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings also bid on Akashdeep, but in the end Lucknow Super Giants bought him for a huge sum of Rs 8 crore.
