Overview of the Indian Premier League (IPL)

IPL known as Indian Premier League and also known as Tata IPL for sponsorship reasons, IPL is a professional men’s 20-20 cricket league in India. After India won the 2007 T20 World Cup, the BCCI launched the Indian Premier League, a franchise-based Twenty20 cricket league, on September 13, 2007  It was started by BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket) in 2007 in India and According to BARC, it is also India’s most watched sporting event, followed by the Indian Super League and the Pro Kabaddi League. ipl has the sixth-highest average attendance of any sports league in 2014.The IPL was the first sports event to be streamed live on YouTube in 2010.

Inspired by the success of the Indian Premier League, other Indian sports leagues have been established. The league’s brand was valued at ₹90,038 crore (US$11 billion) in 2022. The 2015 Indian Premier League season contributed to India’s GDP by ₹1,150 crore (US$140 million), according to the BCCI.With 32 million views, the 2023 final became the biggest streamed live event on the internet.

When the league sold the television rights for the next four seasons to Viacom 18 and Star Sports in 2023 for US$6.4 billion  each IPL match was worth $13.4 million.

Teams that took part in the league’s official launch in April 2008 included the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Mumbai Indians (MI), Delhi Daredevils (DD), Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), Deccan Chargers (DC), Rajasthan Royals (RR), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

On November 24 and 25, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 super auction took places in Jeddah(Saudi Arabia), where 577 players were signed. Seasons usually begin from March to May, and it is the most richest and liked cricket league in the world.

Indian Premier League 2025  also known as IPL 18  will be the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League , The tournament will see 10 teams compete in 74 matches from March 21 to May 25 in 2025 .

 At the IPL 2025 auction the 10 cricket teams joined to choose the top players from a pool of 577 players 367 of which were Indian and 210 of whom were foreign (outside of India) and The minimum base price of a player in this IPL 2025 mega auction was ₹30L while the maximum base price was ₹2Cr.Kolkata Knight Riders  ( KKR ) are the defending champions, having won their third title in the previous season after beating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final .

How Indian Premier League  2025 auction worked

Auction Timings and Structure

On both days, the auction started at 1:00 PM local time (3:30 PM IST). There were many sessions with breaks in the structure:

3:30 PM IST to 5:00 PM IST is the first session.
5:00 PM IST to 5:45 PM IST is the lunch break.
5:45 PM IST to 10:30 PM IST is the second session.

in the Indian Premier League  2025 mega auction, the 10 IPL teams were allowed to retain a maximum of 6 players from their previous squads.Two uncapped Indians and a maximum of five capped players are permissible.

An organized approach to bidding was made possible by this plan, guaranteeing that every player had a chance to be auctioned off systematically.

Player Categories and Order of Bidding

Based on their status players were divided into various groups

Marquee Players: Two sets of marquee players, including high-profile names  like Jos Buttler, Shreyas Iyer, and Rishabh Pant, were available for auction.

Capped Players:
After the big sets, players with caps were divided into categories like fast bowlers, spinners,wicketkeepers, hitters, and all-rounders.

Uncapped Players:
Uncapped players from related groups were auctioned off after capped players.

accelerated Auction: Following the first rounds, there was an accelerated phase in which more participants might be put up to bid.

Right-to-Match (RTM) Card Mechanism

I think A notable feature of the IPL 2025 auction was the return of the Right-to-Match (RTM) card , This mechanism allowed teams to reacquire a player from their previous squad by matching the highest bid made by another team. However, unlike previous auctions where matching automatically secured the player and this time the winning team had an opportunity to raise their bid without any cap after an RTM was invoked.

For example, if a player was won at Rs 5 crore and their former team exercised RTM rights, they could increase their bid (e.g., to Rs 10 crore), forcing the original team to decide whether they would match this new offer or let the player go.

Top priciest players IPL 2025 auction:

Rishabh Pant is the most expensive player at the IPL 2025 auction, costing LSG ₹27 crore.

Jos Buttler was the most costly foreign player in the IPL 2025 auction, costing GT ₹15.75 crore.

Rishabh Pant is the most costly Indian player at the IPL 2025 auction, costing LSG ₹27 crore.

Rasikh Dar, the most costly uncapped player at the IPL 2025 auction (RCB paid ₹6 crore).

The Rajasthan Royals paid ₹1.1 crore to acquire 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a young star from Bihar, making him the youngest player selected at the IPL auction.

A total budget of ₹120 crore was given to each side in order to assemble a squad of at least 18 and up to 25 players for the 2025 Indian Premier League. Each squad could have no more than eight foreign players.
