IPL 2025 mega auction: Amount spent by all teams

Rishabh Pant was the most expensive player sold at the IPL 2025 mega auction.

This year’s mega auction had the interesting twist of the Right To Match card, which was made even more interesting as the team holding the bid can raise the bid to any amount they wish if another franchise wishes to the use the RTM card.

Minutes ago, Pant’s former Delhi Capitals teammate Shreyas Iyer, who had led Kolkata Knight Riders to the IPL 2024 title, had become the most expensive player as Punjab Kings bought him for 26.75 crores.

Venkatesh Iyer was the third-most expensive player of the IPL 2025 mega auction as KKR purchased him for 23.75 crores.
