But Lucknow team has surprised everyone by spending Rs 27 crore on Pant.
Delhi pushes for Iyer
Shreyas Iyer's old team Delhi Capitals tried its best to bring him into the team. Delhi continued to compete with Punjab by Rs 26 crore. But in the end the Punjab team ruined Delhi's plan. Punjab included Shreyas Iyer in its team for Rs 26.75 crore.
KKR shot itself in the foot
Kolkata team released the champion captain. KKR showed interest in Iyer at the beginning of the auction, but he fought an interesting battle between Delhi and Punjab. However, last year Iyer did not perform well with the bat. But still many bats of the champion captain were seen in the mega auction.
Irfan Pathan's prediction came true

There was a competition between the teams regarding Pant. But finally Sanjeev Goenka decided to spend Rs 27 crore on this player. A record was set by spending Rs 24.75 crore on Mitchell Starc in the IPL 2024 auction, but it was broken in the first set of the mega auction.
