The 2024 IPL season ended on a triumphant note, with KKR winning the title in a dramatic final against Sunrisers Hyderabad. As the euphoria of this season subsides, anticipation for the IPL 2025 Mega Auction grows.
Date and Time
The IPL 2025 Mega Auction will likely follow a two-day format similar to the 2022 auction, which was held in February. While the exact date has not yet been confirmed, fans can expect the event to occur in the window of December 2024 to February 2025. The official announcement regarding the specific dates will be made by the IPL governing council closer to the event.
Venue
The venue for the IPL 2025 Mega Auction is anticipated to be in India, continuing the tradition from previous years. The IPL 2024 Auction, notable for being the first to be held outside of India, saw a new format of bidding. However, for IPL 2025, the auction is expected to return to Indian soil. Potential cities could include Mumbai, Delhi, or Kolkata, given their historical significance and infrastructure capabilities for such high-profile events.
Auction Details
The IPL 2025 Mega Auction will feature significant changes compared to the previous years. Teams will have limited retention options, likely retaining only 3 or 4 players from their current squads. The rest will enter the auction pool, creating a highly competitive environment. The 2025 auction is expected to follow a similar structure to the 2022 mega auction, which saw 204 players sold for a total of Rs. 551 crore.
