IPL 2025 auction: Squads, teams, list of players sold and prices

How IPL 2025 auction works

Ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, the 10 IPL teams were allowed to retain a maximum of six players from their previous squads, with a maximum of five capped players and two uncapped Indians allowed. The total cost of the retained players is then subtracted from the total budget for the auction.

Teams which chose not to use their full quota of six pre-auction retentionshave the option to use the balance retention spots as Right to Match (RTM) cards during the auction, with which they can choose to match the highest bid on any of their former players and retain them.

For example, a team retaining four players will be entitled to two RTM cards in the auction. The cap on capped and uncapped players will still apply.

Punjab Kings, having retained just two uncapped players, will have the biggest purse of ₹110.5 crore at the IPL 2025 auction and the option to use RTM cards on four capped players.

In contrast, inaugural IPL winners Rajasthan Royals and reigning champions Kolkata Knight Riders have exercised their full quota of pre-auction retentions and will have a budget of ₹41 crore and ₹51 crore, respectively, and will have no RTM cards left either.
