IPL Auction 2025: The highly anticipated second day of the IPL 2025 Mega Auction is set to take place at the Abadi Al Johar Arena in Jeddah on Monday. The first day was quite eventful for fans as well as franchises around the world, and all are really eager to see what the next round of auctions will bring in.
India’s T20 World Cup-winning wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant broke the record for being the costliest player ever at IPL auctions on Sunday by signing a whopping INR 27 crore deal with Lucknow Super Giants at the IPL 2025 Mega Auction. This once again showcases the worth of Pant in the T20 format and the strength that his inclusion is likely to add to the side.

The bidding war among multiple franchises, including Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Titans, Rajasthan Royals, and Royal Challengers Bangalore, showed no signs of slowing down despite a slow start. Sunrisers Hyderabad placed an INR 15.75 crore bid for Arshdeep, and Punjab Kings exercised their Right-To-Match card, bringing the player back into their fold with a winning bid of INR 18 crore.
