IPL Mega Auction: These three players can break all auction records, and the bid will cross Rs 25 crore!
Along with the Border Gavaskar Trophy, the whole world has its eyes on the IPL 2025 mega auction. This year, teams like Delhi Capitals (DC), Rajasthan Royals (RR), and Mumbai Indians (MI) have made important decisions on their star players. The stage is set for a bidding battle that could change the history of the IPL mega auction. Last year, Kolkata Knight Riders made Mitchell Starc the most expensive player in the history of the tournament with a bid of Rs 24 crore 75 lakh. This time this record could be broken.
No one would have thought that the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise would release the captain who made the team a champion after 10 years. Shreyas Iyer, who is out of all three formats of the Indian team, recently scored a double century in the Ranji Trophy. Before KKR, under his captaincy, Shreyas Iyer led Delhi Capitals to the finals in IPL history for the first time. In such a situation, teams that are looking for an explosive middle-order batsman as well as a captain will be ready to open the coffers to add Shreyas Iyer to their team.
Delhi Capitals and Rishabh Pant's eight-year-old relationship has ended. The explosive wicketkeeper-batsman led Team India to victory in the T20 World Cup after a fatal accident, yet the Delhi franchise did not retain its captain. Pant, who is only 27 years old, has a long career ahead of him, so don't be surprised if he breaks Mitchell Starc's bid record of Rs 24.75 crore at the auction table!
RR did not retain English opener Jos Buttler, famous for his explosive start. Buttler was Rajasthan's X-factor for the last several seasons. There can be a tough fight among the franchises to add England's dashing wicketkeeper-opener Buttler to their team. This English wicketkeeper, who is adept at turning the match on his own, has also registered seven centuries in the IPL. Teams who need a reliable opening batsman or captain can bet on Buttler.
