IPL 2025 Team-wise Breakdown: Who spent most on spinners?

The 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has already witnessed some nail-biting finishes. The interest around this season was already high as it kick-started a new cycle after the mega-auction last year. Like every season, IPL 2025 has unearthed some exciting talents. The likes of Digvesh Rathi and Vipraj Nigam have shown that India's new generation of leg-spinners pack a punch.

Krunal Pandya and Sai Kishore's performances have proven that there is still a lot of value that finger spinners can add in the shortest format of the game. While veterans like Sunil Narine and Rashid Khan have not been among the wickets, young Noor Ahmad leads the Purple Cap list with 11 scalps from five games. 

Spinners have continued to play crucial roles for their teams in IPL 2025. CricTracker takes a look at how much each team spent on spinners in IPL 2025.

10. Mumbai Indians - 4.80 crore

Five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) spent the least amount of money on their spinners. Vignesh Puthur has been one of the finds of this season for MI. The left-arm wrist spinner was roped in for his base price of INR 30 lakh in the mega-auction. Karn Sharma also joined at his base price of INR 50 lakh. Meanwhile, Mitchell Santner signed for INR 2 crore. Mumbai had acquired the services of young Afghanistan spinner AM Ghazanfar. However, he was ruled out due to injury and replaced by Mujeeb Ur Rahman for INR 2 crore.

9. Sunrisers Hyderabad - 6 crore

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are known for their attacking brand of cricket. Their home ground - Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium provides pitches which have very little assistance for bowlers. Spinners find it even more difficult to contain batters at this ground. It isn't a surprise that Hyderabad spent just INR 6 crore on their spin-bowling department in IPL 2025. The Orange Army have only three specialist spinners in their lineup - Rahul Chahar (INR 3.20 crore), Adam Zampa (INR 2.40 crore), and Zeeshan Ansari (INR 40 lakh).
