The IPL 2025 mega auction is set to take place on November 24 and 25.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction is scheduled to take place on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah.

Earlier the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had asked all the IPL franchises to confirm their list of retained players by October 31. A total of 46 players have been retained by the 10 franchises before the mega auction.

A total of 577 players are set to feature in the two-day IPL 2025 mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Out of those, 367 are Indians and 210 are overseas, including three from Associate teams.

Punjab Kings will enter the auction with the biggest purse of INR 110.5 croress. The franchise made only two retentions – Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh – before the auction. On the other hand, having retained six players for the next season, Rajasthan Royals will enter with the smallest purse of INR 41 crores.

Only three United States of America (USA) players have been shortlisted for the IPL 2025 mega auction. They will be eyeing a place in the 70 overseas slots that are available among all 10 franchises. Among these three, two of them had represented India in U19 cricket, but since they retired from Indian cricket to pursue international cricket in the USA, they will be considered overseas cricketers during the IPL 2025 mega auction.

Here is the complete list of USA in the IPL 2025 mega auction and their base prices:

Unmukt Chand – Rs 30 lakhs
Saurabh Netravalkar – Rs 30 lakhs
Ali Khan – Rs 30 lakhs

Former Indian U19 captain Unmukt Chand will enter the IPL 2025 mega auction with a base price of INR 30 lakhs. Chand is known for his free-flowing batting style in T20s. The right-hander has scored 1795 runs in 87 innings with a strike rate of 116.

Left-arm pacer Saurabh Netravalkar made headlines during the ICC Men’s T20 World 2024 with his excellent bowling performances against India and Pakistan. Saurabh has an impressive bowling record in T20s with 51 wickets in 43 games.
