After a long wait and hundreds of anticipations all over, we finally have all the clarifications regarding the IPL 2025 mega auction. On October 31st, we received the retention lists from every IPL team, and just like the nature of the IPL, many surprises came as big names will be under the hammer. From Rishabh Pant to Shreyas Iyer to KL Rahul, all such players, who have a strong fan base and impressive series for their respective IPL teams and the Indian team, will be looking for new IPL jerseys. If we look at it, not just these big players, many other names will also be in the IPL auction. With the clarity we have now, a total of 1,574 cricketers (1,165 Indian and 409 overseas) have signed up for the auction. The list includes 320 capped players, 1,224 uncapped players, and 30 players from the Associate Nations. Although there are chances that some of the registered names will be excluded, but since it’s a mega auction, we will see a hectic two-day-long auction ahead of IPL 2025.
