IPL 2025 Auction: Pant set to trigger bidding war; Rahul, Iyer also in line

With stars like Rishabh Pant and K L Rahul up for grabs, many IPL team owners will be rubbing their hands in glad anticipation at the upcoming players' auction which promises to create all-time record deals given the available Indian talent in the pool. Aside from Pant and Rahul, there will be Shreyas Iyer, Arshdeep Singh, Washington Sundar, Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami also in the auction pool.

Uncapped Shashank Singh, one of the two players retained by Punjab Kings, on Friday said he will prove the team owners' decision to keep him for the 2025 season right by putting up a stellar show in the next edition when they restart their quest for that elusive title.

"I am extremely grateful to the franchise as they have given me an opportunity again and shown their faith in me. Having been in the circuit for the last five years, this opportunity they have given me is something I'll be forever grateful for. Now, it's my time to prove them right," Shashank said after the retentions were announced. At the IPL 2024 auction, Punjab Kings secured the services of Shashank at his base price of Rs 20 lakh, but then claimed it was a 'mistake'. They later clarified that the confusion arose due to another player ..
