Rs 639.15 cr spent, 182 players sold in IPL auction

Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), Nov 25 (UNI) As the dust settled on the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction here on Monday, one thing was clear: this was a spectacle of contrasts.
On the one side, veterans like Bhuvneshwar Kumar made a strong statement, proving that age and past form are no barriers to the IPL’s ever-evolving landscape. On the other, a 13-year-old prodigy, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, made history, reminding the world that talent can strike at any age.
The two-day auction saw a total of Rs 639.15 crore spent, with 182 players securing contracts. But for the 395 players left without bids, the reality was harsher – their IPL dreams were postponed, if not shattered, as franchises bid strategically to balance their squads with stars, experience, and raw potential.
