Rishabh Pant has become the most expensive buys in the history of Indian Premier League. LSG broke bank to grab him for a whopping Rs 27 crore.

One-time Indian Premier League champions will be led by Sanju Samson and they don't have any RTM option as they have retained 6 players on their side.

The first day of the auction will feature 84 cricketers, with the auctioneer Mallika Sagar calling out the names of the first 12 sets.

A total of 577 players (210 overseas and 367 Indian) will be going under the hammer and the 10 teams will look to fill 204 slots, 70 of which are for overseas players. The high-octane event will start at 3:30 PM IST on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah.

The Indian Premier League opens its "mega-auction" later Sunday in Saudi Arabia with teams primed to splash out millions of dollars on world-class cricketers for the lucrative Twenty20 tournament.

Saudi Arabia hosts this year's Indian Premier League player auction in a partnership between a money-spinning cricket tournament expanding its global reach and a kingdom using sports to improve its image.

USA's Saurabh Netravalkar, England's Jofra Archer and uncapped Indian Hardik Tamore are the three players who have been added in the list of 574 names in IPL 2025 mega auction list.
