Rishabh Pant made history by becoming the most expensive player in IPL auction history, as Lucknow Super Giants secured the wicketkeeper-batter for a remarkable INR 27 crore.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was a highly anticipated event where 10 teams competed to fill 204 spots from a pool of 577 talented players. Day 1 of the auction showcased 84 players going under the hammer, igniting a thrilling bidding war among the franchises.
Rishabh Pant made history by becoming the most expensive player in IPL auction history, as Lucknow Super Giants secured the wicketkeeper-batter for a remarkable INR 27 crore. This record-breaking deal occurred just 20 minutes after Punjab Kings acquired Shreyas Iyer for INR 26.75 crore, surpassing the previous record. Sunrisers Hyderabad added veteran fast bowler Mohammad Shami to their roster for Rs 10 crore. Despite Gujarat Titans having the Right to Match (RTM) card at their disposal, they opted not to use it, allowing Hyderabad to successfully acquire Shami.
