In the IPL auction 2025, Arshdeep Singh saw intense bidding, starting at Rs 2 crore. Initially, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) showed interest, followed by Delhi Capitals (DC) and Gujarat Titans (GT). Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) also joined the contest. Ultimately, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) acquired him for Rs 15.75 crore, but Punjab Kings (PBKS) used the RTM option and secured him for Rs 18 crore. Shreyas Iyer's bidding opened with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS), with KKR later withdrawing. DC entered the fray, and PBKS eventually sealed Iyer for Rs 26.75 crore. Rishabh Pant saw interest from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), RCB, and SRH. After a heated exchange, LSG secured Pant for a record-breaking Rs 27 crore, making him the most expensive player in IPL history. These high-stakes auctions reflected the growing competition and investment in IPL talent.
