Arshdeep Singh was bought by Punjab Kings after the team used their RTM card in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction. He became the most expensive Indian pacer in IPL auction history. After the player was sold to SRH for 15.75 crore, PBKS bought his back with Rs. 18 crores via RTM cards.
The bidding for the Indian pacer initially took off between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC). CSK exited the race at ₹7.25 crore, paving the way for Gujarat Titans (GT) to join the fray. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) then entered the bidding war, raising the stakes to ₹10 crore. Rajasthan Royals joined the bid at Rs. 11 crore. Sunrisers also started their bid for the pacer at 12.75 crore
