Team India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant will be one of the biggest draws in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction which takes place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on November 24 and 25. Delhi Capitals have decided not to retain their former skipper ahead of the mega auction but there is speculation that there is more to the story.

Australia's Mitchell Starc became the most expensive player in the history of IPL , but former India cricketer Irfan Pathan reckons Rishabh Pant will surpass it. Starc was lapped up by the Kolkata Knight Riders for a whopping Rs 24.

Delhi Capitals released Rishabh Pant on the IPL 2025 retention day. The wicketkeeper-batsman has registered for the mega-auction with a base price of Rs 2 crore. Can Delhi Capitals use their Right to Match card on Rishabh during the auction?

Here is a look at all marquee players who will be going under the hammer - Buttler is one of finest white-ball batters of this generation, with 11,929 runs, eight centuries and 83 fifties to his name in 427 T20s.

Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders retained six players, including Rinku Singh and Andre Russell, ahead of the 2025 IPL auction, spending Rs 57 crore from their Rs 120 crore purse. Key players released include Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer.

For the first time since becoming a capped player, Rishabh Pant will enter an IPL auction. Rishabh was still an India U19 player when he entered his first-ever IPL auction in 2016. Delhi Capitals (then known as Delhi Daredevils) bought the wicketkeeper-batsman for Rs 1.

What exactly is Right to Match card, how can the teams use the RTM and which team has how many RTM cards remaining for the upcoming auction? What is the rule change in RTM card for IPL 2025 mega auction?

A total of 204 player slots, including 70 for overseas players, will be up for grabs. The highest base price is Rs 2 crore, with 81 players opting for this top bracket.
