IPL 2025: As the IPL mega auction approaches, anticipation is building for a record-breaking bidding war, especially for wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant. Released by Delhi Capitals, Pant is now a highly sought-after player, and many franchises are eager to secure his services.
A Lucrative Opportunity For Teams
This season, franchises are expected to spend heavily, particularly Punjab Kings, who hold the largest purse at Rs 110.5 crores after retaining only two players. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) follows with Rs 83 crores available. Both teams, having released their captains, are likely to target Pant as a potential new leader.
