IPL 2025 auction: Top 3 players who could fetch more than 15 crores

Several big names are set to go under the hammer at the IPL 2025 auction.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 auction is set to be a blockbuster with numerous big names entering the pool. The retention rule, which allowed each team to retain a maximum of six players ahead of the auction, has resulted in many top stars being released from several franchises.

The IPL auction has been a game of supply and demand for years. Throughout its 17-year history, the IPL has seen many players going for humongous money. One key attribute which makes any player valuable in the IPL auction is his versatility and ability to perform in clutch situations.

With the IPL 2025 mega auction set to be held towards the end of the year, in this article we will look at the top three players who could fetch more than INR 15 crores.

Top three players who could fetch more than 15 crores in IPL 2025 mega auction:

3. Arshdeep Singh

One of India’s finest performers at the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Arshdeep Singh will go under the hammer as he’s surprisingly been released by Punjab Kings. Arshdeep was one of the few bright spots for the Punjab Kings in their underwhelming IPL 2024 season.

Arshdeeep starred for the Punjab-based franchise picking up 19 wickets in 14 games. He is known for his excellent execution with both the new ball in the powerplay and the old ball in the death overs.

Signing a formidable Indian fast bowler remains a top priority for any franchise in the IPL, and given the circumstances, Arshdeep Singh is poised to attract massive bids at the IPL 2025 mega auction.

2. Shreyas Iyer

Last season’s IPL-winning captain, Shreyas Iyer, is a surprising name released before the auction. In IPL 2024, Shreyas led KKR brilliantly, finishing at the top in the group-stage phase of the tournament and propelling KKR to their third title.

Iyer was the glue to Kolkata’s destructive batting lineup last year, playing the anchor role whenever required. Iyer’s leadership qualities along with his excellent batting record against spinners can help him get massive bids in the upcoming mega auction.

1. Rishabh Pant

Star Indian wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant is another big name who will go under the hammer in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Pant has been a key player for the Delhi-based franchise since the beginning of his IPL career in 2016.

Pant was one of Delhi’s most successful batters last year, amassing 446 runs. His explosive batting in the middle order, combined with his wicket-keeping and leadership experience, makes him a valuable asset. Pant is expected to attract a handsome amount at the IPL 2025 mega auction.
