This auction will have a whopping 574 players, including 366 Indians and 208 overseas cricketers. Among them are 318 uncapped Indian players and 12 from overseas.
Coming to the all-time record prospect, Mitchel Starc now holds the record for being the costliest player in the auction. He stands at a monstrous price of Rs 24.50 crore in the auction. Next, we have Cummins who is also in the same vicinity.
In this context, Rishabh Pant is projected to be the player who would break the record for the highest price in the auction this year. He is likely to fetch in the vicinity of Rs 25 crores as there is a lot of demand for wicket-keeper batsmen.
IPL 2025 auction is going to be a mega event and it will almost entirely decide the fate of all the teams in the tournament. On paper, SRH and Mumbai look the strongest thus far, and this can change drastically once the mega auction commences.
