Most Expensive Players IPL 2025 Mega Auction: IPL 2025 mega auction is to be held on 24-25 November in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Before the auction, all the teams retained a total of 46 players, but 204 slots are still vacant for the auction. World’s top players like Rishabh Pant, Jos Buttler, Glenn Maxwell and Shreyas Iyer will be adding to the excitement of the mega auction, which can fetch bids worth crores of rupees. Before the auction, let us know who is the most expensive player in the list of batting, bowling and wicketkeepers?
most expensive batsman
Shreyas Iyer can get the tag of the most expensive batsman, who made KKR the champion of APL 2024 under his captaincy. The demand for Shreyas will be high because Delhi Capitals last reached the final under his captaincy. In IPL 2024, Iyer scored 351 runs in 14 matches. With his arrival, a team will not only get a top batsman but will also get a world class captain.
most expensive bowler
When the mini auction was held for IPL 2024, Mitchell Starc broke all the records of earnings from the Indian Premier League. KKR had bought Starc for Rs 24.75 crore, but he was released before IPL 2025. Last season, when KKR needed Starc the most, this Australian fast bowler proved to be very effective in the playoffs. Considering Starc’s stature in international cricket, he can get the title of most expensive bowler this time.
most expensive wicketkeeper
Talking about wicketkeepers, big names like Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Jos Buttler will be included in the mega auction. But the demand for Rishabh Pant has already started increasing. In media reports, his name has also been linked with Punjab Kings, RCB and CSK. When such top teams show interest in buying Pant, then the bid for him is definitely going to be very high. Since Rishabh Pant will also be bringing captaincy experience with him, he can be the most expensive wicketkeeper.
most expensive allrounder
Glenn Maxwell, one of the great all-rounder players, is going to enter the auction this time. He was able to score only 129 runs in 10 matches for RCB last season, but this does not diminish his stature in international cricket. Maxwell is one of the most ideal players of T20 cricket. If top all-rounders like Andre Russell and Hardik Pandya had not been retained, perhaps Maxwell would not have become the most expensive all-rounder, but now the chances of this happening have increased a lot.
most expensive foreign player
Jos Buttler has been the captain of England, is a world-class wicketkeeper and remained the number-1 batsman in the International T20 rankings for a long time. When so much talent is coming with a single player, then which team would not want to invest money in them. Butler without any doubt seems to be a strong contender to be the most expensive foreign player.
Most expensive uncapped player
A large number of uncapped players are going to enter the IPL 2025 mega auction. Very high bids can be made on uncapped players like Anshul Kamboj, Nihal Wadhera to Vijaykumar Vaishak. But Sameer Rizvi was bought by CSK last year for Rs 8.40 crore. He did not get to play many balls, but Sameer had definitely shown that he can become CSK’s top finisher if given a chance.
