The two-day auction for IPL 2025 has ended. During this period, money was spent like water by all the 10 teams. Huge bids worth crores were made on each player. Within a short time, crores of rupees were at stake. Now the teams are ready for the next season’s Indian Premier League. It is believed that IPL will be played in March. Meanwhile, the question is whether the teams have any money left after the auction. So the answer is yes. If the teams wanted, some more players could have been bought for this amount.
Rishabh Pant becomes the most expensive player in IPL history
Rishabh Pant has now become the most expensive player of IPL. Mitchell Starc was in possession of this chair for the first two days, but LSG i.e. Lucknow Super Giants broke this record by signing Pant for Rs 27 crore. A total of 182 players were bought by teams in the two-day auction. It includes 62 foreign players. This time BCCI had also given RTM i.e. Right to Match card to the teams, under this a total of eight players have stayed in their old team. If we talk about the entire expenditure in two days, then the teams spent Rs 639.15 crore.
RCB has the highest purse left even after the auction
Now if we talk about the purse left with the teams, then RCB has saved the most money. The team has saved Rs 75 lakh. However, the team has bought only 22 players and not 25. If the team wanted, it could have bought two more players at the base price of Rs 30 lakh, but it did not happen. After this Punjab Kings have saved Rs 35 lakh. The team had all 25 players in its squad, meaning they had no room to buy more players. Rajasthan Royals team also saved Rs 30 lakh. The team bought 20 players. They could have bought another player for Rs 30 lakh.
Only three teams kept 25 players in their squad
According to BCCI rules, IPL teams can have a minimum of 18 and maximum 25 players in their squad. All teams had to follow the minimum. If we talk about the maximum squad of players, then only three teams have kept 25 players. Chennai Super Kings complete 25 players, only Rs 5 lakh is left with them. Gujarat Titans have also completed their 25 players. The team now has only Rs 15 lakh left. Apart from this, Punjab Kings have also completed 25 players.
