Apart from Rishabh Pant, another key player to make waves at the IPL 2025 auction was Shreyas Iyer. Initially starting with a base price of Rs 2 crore, Iyer quickly became one of the highest-paid players in IPL history after a fierce bidding war between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC).

Apart from these two, former KKR pacer Mitchell Starc was paid a hefty sum of Rs 24.75 crore in IPL 2024 Auction. KKR spending the huge sum on Starc proved to be very fruitful for the Men in Purple and Gold.
