IPL 2025 Mega Auction: Many Indian players became rich on the first day of IPL 2025 mega auction. Rishabh Pant broke all the records of the Indian Premier League. Pant was included in their team by Lucknow Super Giants by spending a huge amount of Rs 27 crores. At the same time, a lot of money was showered on Shreyas Iyer also. However, there were some players who got many times more money than expected. Let us tell you the names of three such players.

Venkatesh Iyer

Kolkata Knight Riders spent a lot of money for Venkatesh Iyer. There was a bidding war between Royal Challengers Bangalore and KKR to include Iyer in the team. The bidding for Venkatesh, which had a base price of Rs 2 crore, very quickly crossed Rs 20 crore. In the end, RCB pulled back and Kolkata again added the Indian all-rounder to their team by spending a huge amount of Rs 23.75 crore. No one expected such a big bid for Venkatesh and everyone was surprised when he was sold for Rs 23.75 crore.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal, who was out of the Indian team, also got more money than required in the mega auction. Many teams bid for Chahal, but in the end Punjab Kings won. Punjab spent Rs 18 crore for Chahal. Chahal was released by Rajasthan Royals before the mega auction. Everyone expected that Chahal's name would be auctioned, but no one would have thought that the Indian bowler would be sold for such a huge amount. Chahal has become the most expensive spinner sold in the IPL auction.

Jitesh Sharma

Indian wicketkeeper batsman Jitesh Sharma also received a bigger bid than expected in the mega auction. Royal Challengers Bangalore spent lavishly on Jitesh and included him in their team, spending Rs 11 crore. Punjab Kings did not even use RTM card for Jitesh. In IPL 2024, Jitesh scored only 187 runs in the 14 matches played at a meager strike rate of 131. This is the reason why everyone was surprised by the huge amount that Jitesh received.
