New Delhi: Indian Premier League mega auction 2025 is all set for a two-day event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Sunday, November 24. All teams retained some core players, but Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) only retained two players ahead of the auction, and both franchises are going in with the biggest purse.
PBKS will enter the auction with the biggest purse with 110.5 crore followed by RCB with 83 crore in their kitties. Mallika Sagar will be again the auctioneer for the IPL auction as she was the auctioneer in the IPL mini-auction and also auctioned the Women’s Premier League (WPL) in 2023 and 2024.
Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders have retained six players each by matching the players limit in the retention policy, this leaves them with no Right-to-match (RTM) card going into the auction.
