Rishabh Pant created history on Sunday as he became the most expensive player ever when Sanjiv Goenka’s LSG raised the paddle for him at Rs 27 crore at the IPL 2025 auction. Even though he was bagged for Rs 20.75 crore initially by the team, he was RTMed by DC. Eventually, when the bid was raised to 27 crore, DC backed out.

LSG ended their day with Avesh Khan for Rs 9.75 crore, Abdul Samad for Rs 4.20 crore, and Aryan Juyal for Rs 30 lakh.
