The new season of the Indian Premier League 2025 is set to be one of the most exciting in cricket history. The player auction broke several historical records, and the bookmaker 1xBet announced the start of the Indian League Carnival sports tournament with a record prize pool of ₹1 crore for IPL 2025.

   

Record player auction: new stars and big deals

The IPL 2025 season will occur from March 21 to May 25,  with 74 matches. The current champion, Kolkata Knight Riders, will defend their title against the top teams in India.

The player auction took place from November 24 to 25, 2024. For the first time in Indian cricket history, it was held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, highlighting the growing global popularity and the IPL expansion beyond India.

In two days of bidding, several big transfers were made that broke all records:

  • Shreyas Iyer joined Punjab Kings for a record ₹26.75 crore and was appointed team captain.
  • Rishabh Pant became the most expensive player in IPL history after being bought by Lucknow Super Giants for ₹27.00 crore.
  • Venkatesh Iyer returned to Kolkata Knight Riders for ₹23.75 crore, completing the top 3 most expensive players of the season.

Another record at the IPL 2025 auction is related to a player’s age. Rajasthan Royals signed the youngest athlete in the league’s history – 13-year-old batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi for ₹1.10 crore. If he has a successful debut, his value will surely rise significantly. This move has opened new opportunities for young talent and added intrigue to the upcoming season.

It is also worth noting that Heinrich Klaasen, the brand ambassador of 1xBet,  became the most expensive player on retainer, breaking Virat Kohli’s record. Before the IPL 2025 started, the Sunrisers Hyderabad decided to rely on a new star, paying a record ₹23 crore for Heinrich Klaasen to stay.

Cricket fans worldwide are clearly in for one of the brightest tournaments in history. Thanks to record contracts, teams have strengthened their squads with top national and international players, making IPL 2025 even more popular. The young talents’ participation in professional matches guarantees unpredictable and intense competition throughout the tournament, while also opening new prospects for the future of cricket.
