All the 10 IPL franchises spent Rs 467.95 crore as 72 players were bought on Day 1 of IPL 2025 Mega Auction in Saudi Arabia's Jeddha on November 24.  Star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant smashed all records to become the most expensive player in Indian Premier League (IPL) history. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) went all in, securing him for an eye-watering Rs 27 crore during the IPL mega auction in Jeddah on Sunday.  
 
Pant surpasses Iyer and Starc in dramatic bidding wars
 
Minutes before Pant’s record-breaking bid, Shreyas Iyer had briefly held the title of the league’s costliest player, going to Punjab Kings (PBKS) for Rs 26.75 crore. Iyer’s record itself had toppled Australia’s Mitchell Starc, who made his IPL return with a Rs 24.75 crore deal.  
 
 
Pant’s acquisition saw fierce competition as LSG locked horns with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and later Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Even Delhi Capitals (DC) attempted to retain Pant using their Right to Match (RTM) card, but they couldn’t keep pace with LSG’s staggering final bid.   
 
LSG gets the complete package in Pant
 
With Pant in their ranks, LSG has not only secured an explosive top-order batter but also a reliable wicketkeeper and a strong captaincy candidate. Known for his big-stage performances and electrifying presence on the field, Pant brings a multifaceted skillset that can transform LSG’s fortunes.  
 
Proven talent on the global stage
 
Pant’s credentials extend far beyond IPL boundaries. As an all-format player for India, he has delivered clutch performances in the toughest conditions, particularly in Test cricket. While his T20 International (T20I) numbers—1,209 runs in 76 matches at an average of 23.25 and a strike rate of nearly 128—may not dazzle, his overall T20 stats tell a different story. With 5,022 runs in 202 matches at a strike rate of over 145, including two centuries and 25 fifties, Pant remains one of the most dangerous T20 players globally.  
 
A legacy with Delhi Capitals
 
Pant has been synonymous with Delhi Capitals (DC) since his IPL debut in 2016. Over seven seasons, he scored 3,284 runs in 110 matches at an impressive average of 35.31, including a century and 18 fifties. Appointed DC captain in 2021, Pant led the team to the playoffs that year, further cementing his status as a leader.

PBKS secures Chahal after fierce battle 
Indian spin maestro Yuzvendra Chahal became one of the standout acquisitions in the ongoing IPL mega auction in Jeddah on Sunday. Punjab Kings (PBKS) splurged a whopping Rs 18 crore to secure Chahal, following a heated bidding war that saw strong competition from Gujarat Titans (GT), Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
 
Chahal's stellar T20 and IPL record
  Chahal’s credentials as a top-tier bowler made him a hot pick at the auction. He holds the record for most wickets by an Indian in T20 Internationals (T20Is), with 96 scalps in 80 matches at an average of 25.09, including his career-best 6/25. In overall T20 cricket, Chahal has an impressive 354 wickets in 305 matches.
 
RCB legacy and current IPL dominance
  A cornerstone of Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) bowling attack from 2014 to 2021, Chahal remains their leading wicket-taker, having claimed 139 wickets in 113 matches at an average of 22.03. Post-RCB, he joined Rajasthan Royals (RR) in 2022, where he led the team to two playoff appearances in three seasons.
 
Purple Cap winner and IPL’s leading wicket-taker 
  Chahal is the leading wicket-taker in IPL history, with 205 wickets in 160 matches at an average of 22.44 and a best of 5/44. His standout season came in 2022, where he claimed the Purple Cap with 27 wickets in 17 matches at an average of 19.51, including match-winning figures of 5/40.
