The IPL 2025 Auction war held in Jeddah from November 24-25 in 2024 is the talk of town due to the unprecedented acquisition spending. A record-settling ₹641.5 crore was put up with ten franchises vying to fill 204 slots, with assets on offer consisting of the best talent within the cricketing realm.

Record-Breaking Buys

1) Rishabh Pant

In purchase attempts, Rishabh Pants’ jaw dropping ₹27 crore contract for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) single-handedly makes him the most valued player in IPL history. With this deal, Rishabh truly proves the saying: pay extravagantly, do the best work.

2) Shreyas Iyer 

In other notable Shreyas Iyer auction bids, the ₹26.75 crore spending by Punjab Kings (PBKS) made them second-most spendthrift of the auction.

3) Jos Buttler

 The now-elite Jos Buttler acquired by Gujarat Titans (GT) for ₹15.75 crown still pronouncing as English wicketkeeper prominent

Notable Indian Signings

1) Arshdeep Singh 

The Indian players still shined through with Arshdeep Singh and Venkatesh Iyer fueling alure with premium performances, commanding bids of ₹18 crores retainer purchase for PBKS 

2) venkatesh Iyer

 ₹23.75 crore from Kolkata Knight Riders respectively, Iyer’s purchasing reinforcing his oblique dominance within the league.

Other Significant Purchases

Players Not Sold

As a result of their unmatched experience and remarkable performances, some well-renowned names stayed without a bid:

1) David Warner: With a less than agreeable goal and a mediocre season last year, the Australian opener remained unsold this season.

2) Jonny Bairstow: The english wicketkeeper-batsman stayed on his fence too.

Financial Investments Of A Team

Some franchises had more variation in how they spent while trying to balance star signings and fresh young signings:

1) Lucknow Super Giants (LSG):  It was them though who made the headline in the auction when they got Rishabh Pant for ₹27 crore.

2) Punjab Kings (PBKS):  Their heavy spending of Shreyas Iyer for ₹26.75 crore and Yuzvendra Chahal bought out for ₹18 crore was quite astonishing.

3) Gujarat Titans (GT):  They managed to strengthen their batting by getting Jos Buttler for ₹15.75 crore but later wasted some money putting up a bid for Kagiso Rabada who they got cheap at only ₹10.75 crore making it a good buy for GT, but now has hurt the teams bowling department.

The IPL 2025 bids did not surprise me with the schools aggressive outlook on the changes they employ into their teams to make them stronger.
