Here are 10 possible names
Before IPL 2025, BCCI had released the list of marquee players, in which a total of 12 players have been included. Of these, there are 10 players whose names can be spoken first in the auction. It is being speculated that Rishabh Pant may be sold at the highest price, considering his demand, his name may be mentioned first in the mega auction. There is speculation about Pant that many teams have already reserved the budget for him. Apart from him, Jos Buttler is also a wicketkeeper batsman on whom many teams can bid.
Shreyas Iyer, who made KKR the champion under his captaincy in IPL 2024, has also been in the news and whichever team needs a captain, all those teams can bid on Iyer. It would not be surprising if the name of Yuzvendra Chahal, the only bowler to take 200 or more wickets in the history of IPL, is mentioned first. Apart from him, this list will also include the most expensive player sold in IPL 2024, Mitchell Starc, whose name is also likely to be mentioned first considering his stature in world cricket.
First bid can be made on these players: Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Jos Buttler, Mitchell Starc, Liam Livingstone, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shreyas Iyer, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Shami.
