The dates of IPL 2025 auction have been finally released by BCCI and it is now scheduled to take place on 24th and 25th of November in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A total of 15774 players have registered their names which includes plenty of star Indian and overseas players.
Generally, the star Indian players who are regular in the Indian side get retained by their respective franchises, but this time around, players like Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer all would be going under the hammer at Jeddah. All three of them are likely to fetch some big money, not only because of their skills as a batter, but also because they provide captaincy option to the franchises.
All three of them have registered at a base price of 2 Crore, the highest base price in the auction. All three of them are likely to go in double-digit and some intense battle is expected between the franchises for all three players. The teams like RCB, Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, KKR all would be eyeing a captain candidate and they would bid heavily for these players.
Rishabh Pant led Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024 while KL Rahul captained LSG for three years. Shreyas Iyer, on the other hand, led KKR to a title win in the 2024 season and would be a most-sought after captain among the three.

There are plenty of other big names too in the 2 Crore Base Price bracket like Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Siraj, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami. Washington Sundar and Arshdeep Singh who are regular in the Indian T20I side would also go into the auction with a base price of 2 Crore while there are other big names which includes mixture of young and experienced stars.
A total of 23 Indian players have a base price of 2 Crore in the auction and most of these players would be on the radar of franchises as they try to build a solid core of Indian players for IPL 2025.
