IPL 2025: 3 Players who attracted most bids at the auction

2. Arshdeep Singh (INR 18 crore, Punjab Kings): 7 Teams

Indian left-arm pacer, Arshdeep Singh, became one of the hottest commodities in the IPL 2025 auction. The bidding started with Chennai Super Kings at INR 2 crore and quickly escalated as Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Rajasthan Royals joined the race. Arshdeep's incredible form, including his role as a joint-highest wicket-taker in the 2024 T20 World Cup, made him a valuable asset.

After a tense back-and-forth, Sunrisers Hyderabad placed a bid of INR 15.75 crore, leading the charge. However, Punjab Kings, his previous team, exercised their Right to Match (RTM) card, forcing SRH to raise their bid to INR 18 crore. In the end, Punjab successfully retained Arshdeep for a massive INR 18 crore. With 76 wickets in 65 IPL matches, Arshdeep will be a key player in Punjab’s bowling attack in the upcoming season.
