Rishabh Pant is one of the biggest names who will be in the auction. In a shock decision, Delhi Capitals decided that they did not want to retain their star player and decided to go another way. All franchises will surely go into a frenzy to try and sign him, and it will not be surprising if he ends up breaking the record for the most expensive player in Indian Premier League history. Given the fact that Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore have the most budget aside from Delhi Capitals, it is likely that he will end up joining one of them.

KL Rahul is one of the most consistent and versatile batsmen in Indian cricket today. As the IPL 2025 mega auction approaches, teams are likely to engage in an intense bidding war to secure their services. After a public bust-up with Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka, many speculated that it would be the end of their partnership, and LSG’s decision not to retain Rahul all but confirms this. It will be very exciting to see where this talented Indian star ends up after the IPL 2025 mega auction.

Kolkata Knight Riders’ decision not to retain Shreyas Iyer was one of the biggest and most shocking news to come out during the IPL retentions. Despite him being the captain who led KKR to the IPL trophy last year, the franchise decided to part ways with him ahead of the mega auction. To make matters worse, the IPL franchise utilised all six of their retentions and, despite this, decided not to retain him. Iyer has proved himself to be a brilliant player and captain, and many IPL franchises are vying for his signature.

Arshdeep Singh has emerged as one of the most promising pace bowlers in Indian cricket, and as IPL 2025 approaches, his name is expected to spark intense competition among franchises during the mega auction. Indian pacers have always been a hot commodity at the auctions, and a player of Arshdeep Singh’s calibre will surely go for a lot. While Punjab Kings do have an RTM card to try to get him back, they will surely have to pay a lot to do so.

Jake Fraser-McGurk had his breakout season in last year’s Indian Premier League season. He displayed some terrific batting, taking down both spin and pace easily. He made an impression on everyone with his power hitting, but Delhi Capitals decided not to retain him. Given his performances last year, he will surely go for a lot of money in this year’s auction, with many teams wanting to get their hands on such explosive batting at the top of the order. It will be very exciting to see which franchises decide to go after him.

Phil Salt

Phil Salt was one of the most important players in Kolkata Knight Riders’ trophy-winning campaign last season. He helped take the pressure off right from the start, scoring very quickly and consistently. While KKR chose to use all six of their retentions, they decided that some other players would end up being more important than Salt. His being in the IPL 2025 auction, especially after his performance last year, will surely start a bidding war, and it will be very interesting to see which franchise ends up getting its hands on the English star.

Ishan Kishan

GT, LSG, DC, RCB and CSK all have Ishan Kishan in their Auction plan.@ishankishan51 #IPL2025#IshanKishan #IPLAuction2025 pic.twitter.com/JUDvj31Dtq

Ishan Kishan has solidified his reputation as one of the most dynamic young wicketkeeper-batsmen in T20 cricket, making him a player to watch in the IPL 2025 mega auction. The Mumbai Indians star has demonstrated remarkable consistency and flair that has made him a fan favourite and a reliable performer in pressure situations. Mumbai Indians will surely go after him to continue their long-standing relationship with the player, but given his class, many franchises will surely try to lure him away from the Mumbai Indians.

Jos Buttler

I was ecstatic in 2018 when we bought Jos Buttler in the auction. Had incredible potential. And from his very first season, he became an icon and captured our hearts.

He broke records, pulled the team out in crunch situations and made moments that no one would imagine, possible. pic.twitter.com/hS6qITN3Ta

Jos Buttler is a household name in T20 cricket, and with the IPL 2025 mega auction approaching, he is set to attract intense interest from multiple franchises. The English wicketkeeper-batsman is renowned for his explosive batting and exceptional batting prowess, making him an invaluable asset to any team. Rajasthan Royals decided they did not want to retain Buttler ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, and while the English star’s form may not be the best, he is still one of the biggest names in T20 cricket, and many teams would be delighted to have him.

Cameron Green

Cameron Green is one of the brightest emerging talents in international cricket and has recently proven his mettle in T20 formats, making him a significant prospect for the IPL 2025 mega auction. The Australian all-rounder’s formidable skill set, characterised by his explosive batting and effective medium-fast bowling, positions him as a versatile player capable of changing game dynamics single-handedly. In a surprise move, Royal Challengers Bangalore decided not to retain Green, who will now be part of the mega auction with many teams trying to get their hands on him.

Will Jacks is steadily rising to prominence in the world of T20 cricket, making him a player to watch in the IPL 2025 mega auction. The young Englishman has showcased his explosive batting prowess in various T20 leagues, demonstrating not only his natural talent but also an innovative approach to the game. While Jacks is only just breaking onto the big stage, he can end up being just the type of future prospect that many IPL franchises would love to add to their roster.
