Rishabh Pant, Jos Buttler, Mitchell Starc or KL Rahul — who do you want in your team?

The IPL 2025 mega auction promises to be the biggest yet, as teams prepare for high-stakes bidding in Jeddah

Last year, Mitchell Starc was picked up by KKR for a whopping ₹24.75 crore in the IPL auction — and he went on to clinch their third IPL title. This year’s IPL auction is set to be a mega event, with all teams having already finalised their retentions. So, whichever team you support, expect to see a lot of new faces.

Big names like Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Jos Buttler, KL Rahul, Trent Boult, Mitchell Starc, Kagiso Rabada and several others will hope for the highest bids. But who do you want to see in your team? Who will attract the biggest bucks and which franchise will emerge as the most balanced after two days of auctions?

Catch all the action live from Jeddah on Star Sports and JioCinema on November 24 and 25, starting at 2.30 pm. It promises to be an electrifying one you won’t want to miss. So, as your teams gear up to bid, grab your calculators and see how many marquee players your favourite franchise can sign up.
