A total of 182 players were sold for a total of Rs 639.15 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction, as franchises strategically filled out their rosters after retaining their key players. Out of the 574 players available in the auction, several prominent players, including some with proven IPL success, garnered substantial bids. Notably, Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant made history as the most expensive player ever in the IPL, securing a price of Rs 27 crore. Following him were Shreyas Iyer at Rs 26.75 crore and Venkatesh Iyer at Rs 23.75 crore.
