As the excitement builds for the IPL 2025 auction, scheduled for November 24, 2025, at 3 PM IST, fans and teams alike anticipate a mega event filled with explosive bids for top players. This year promises big names, and among them are several Indian cricketers who are set to generate significant interest and hefty offers.
Rishabh Pant:
Rishabh Pant is expected to be one of the hottest properties in this auction. Despite his mixed numbers in T20 cricket, Pant’s unique combination of talents makes him a coveted player. As a left-handed batsman, wicketkeeper, and potential captain, his versatility greatly enhances his value. It would be no surprise if he ends up as the highest-paid player at the auction, considering his ability to fulfill multiple roles.
The Punjab Kings are in a prime position with the largest purse and Ricky Ponting as their head coach, making them a strong contender for Pant’s services. On the other hand, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings may also express interest, both in search of a leading figure to guide their squads.
