The IPL (Indian Premier League) 2025 mega auction concluded on November 25 in Jeddah after two days of proceedings. Several superstars were roped in by big franchises ahead of the new season of the tournament. From Arshdeep Singh and Jos Buttler to 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, every type of player was available for teams to buy in the auction. 

Apart from the big names, there were several players who had never represented India in international cricket, but due to their domestic performances, teams got into a bidding battle to secure their services. 

Let us have a look at these three uncapped Indian players:

24-year-old all-rounder Naman Dhir was a player who triggered quite the bidding battle in the IPL 2025 mega auction. For an uncapped player, the player’s base price in the event began at INR 30 lakh. The bidding began with Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians in the mix. 

Furthermore, at the price point of INR 1.3 crore, Delhi Capitals joined the bidding battle, followed by Rajasthan Royals as well. In the end, Royals won the bid at 3.4 crore, which saw MI raise the RTM paddle, and Dhir ultimately went to Mumbai Indians for INR 5.25 crore. In seven IPL matches played, Naman Dhir has scored 140 runs and will hope for some more game time in the IPL 2025.
