The latest IPL mega auction is ready for day two, after records tumbled with players bought for huge sums Sunday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The most expensive player record was meted out not once, but twice, on Sunday with Shreyas Iyer fetching $3.18 million and then Rishabh Pant taking the record with $3.21 million. It's unlikely to be broken again today, but there is still going to be plenty of player movement. 

The 10 franchises will have the opportunity to bid for and purchase some of the best players in the world to boost their chances of winning IPL 2025, with the odds on betting apps in India bound to change after the conclusion of the auction on Monday, 25th November. Indeed, the best cricket betting sites in India and around the world have odds on who will win the next edition of the IPL now before the hammer goes down.

With so many big-name players available in the first mega auction for three years, many of the best prices at IPL betting sites will be altered from the end of last season, when Kolkata Knight Riders destroyed the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final in May. But which players will each IPL team be targeting on the second day of the auction after splurging on the first day, and what are their odds of winning with Indian betting sites before the auction finishes?

IPL Mega Auction Most Expensive Buys

After Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc broke all IPL auction history in the mini auction, it was the turn of Pant and Iyer this time around? Here are the 10 most expensive buys of this auction and which team they will player for.

Which Players Will Be Bought in IPL Auction 2025?

Chennai Super Kings

The second most successful franchise in IPL history, Chennai Super Kings are likely to be well backed at Indian cricket betting apps to go far once again after a disappointing 2024 season. 

The Super Kings retained five of six possible players, including MS Dhoni returning for potentially one more season at 43. Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad were also kept on as well as Sri Lankan overseas player Matheesha Pathirana.

They also brought back Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra, and have further strengthened their spin attack with Ravi Ashwin. Their odds will likely shorten with most fast withdrawal betting sites in the months leading up to IPL 2025 given their history in the tournament.

Delhi Capitals

The Delhi Capitals once again missed the playoffs, and Australian legend Ricky Ponting paid the price. It looked like they might have unearthed a star in Jake Fraser-McGurk, but he was not one of the four players retained. Two players retained are domestic spinners in Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, while a wicketkeeper and batter have also been retained so it made sense fast bowling was focused on on the first day.

Mitchell Starc, Mohit Sharma and T Natarajan were bought, alongside explosive batters Harry Brook and Fraser-McGurk being brought back. Their odds with most cricket betting sites in India won't be too strong now, but after a big auction, they could boost quickly.

Gujarat Titans

The Titans spent plenty of money on the first day of the auction, improving their pace stocks no end with Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna. Jos Buttler will team up with Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan in what is suddenly looking an incredibly strong lineup. They will like look for domestic spinners and hard-hitting middle order batters on day two.

Kolkata Knight Riders

The defending champions would seemingly have much less work to do than any other team, if nothing else given the fact they retained the maximum number of players they could, six. They have finishers, all-rounders and spinners locked in, to help them find some opening batters and fast bowlers. KKR duly brought back another fpur players from their title-winning side, so they may be on the look out for depth on day two.

They are among the current favourites to win the IPL at most cricket betting apps in India, and their work this week will more than likely strengthen that.

Lucknow Super Giants

Lucknow narrowly missed out on the playoffs for the first time last season and responded by retaining five players, with all of them a manageable price with the exception of West Indies star Nicholas Pooran, who is costing a whopping INR 21 crore.

They were then among the busiest teams on day one, buying eight players to leave them with comparatively little to do. They forked out a record sum on Pant, who is likely to be their captain. An opening batter and overseas pace bowlers will likely be their focus.

Mumbai Indians

The move to trade for Hardik Pandya and make him the new captain at the expense of India skipper and long time successful captain at Mumbai, Rohit Sharma, didn't pay off. Pandya was booed at times, and they finished with the worst record in the IPL.

Somehow, they had just the second-least amount to spend after bringing back five high-priced players, including Pandya, Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav. The batting core in tact, spinners and all-rounders are likely to be the order of the day. That remains the case after signing just four players on the first day, leaving them with plenty to do.

Punjab Kings

No team retained fewer players than the Punjab Kings' two of Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh, leaving them with, by far, the biggest purse available. They needed every base covered at the auction to have a chance of competing. They were very aggressive going after some of the big-name players, including tapping up Iyer to likely be their captain. Opening batting options and spinners could be their focus, particularly with six overseas slots still to fill.

Their recruitment decisions will have to be spot on to improve their chances with most IPL betting apps.

Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals once again made the playoffs and have retained the maximum number of six players, leaving them with the lowest amount to spend on players this week. The team is chock-full of Indian stars with Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel and Sandeep Sharma all retained. That amounts to a lot of batting already.

With comparatively little to spend and plenty of spaces to fill, expect the team to be in search of bowling bargains both domestically and overseas. They did that plenty on the first day, with five bowlers bought, but with 14 more slots to fill, expect them to be very active again.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

RCB are the perennial nearly men in IPL and last year they again fell short. It was, once again, the bowling that let the team down. That said, captain Fa Du Plessis has not been retained, which could be a precursor to Virat Kohli returning to the helm.

Other big names not kept around from the team include Glenn Maxwell, Mohammed Siraj, Cameron Green and Will Jacks. The Royal Challengers need a lot of help and picked up six players on day one, but they still need plenty of support in the middle order and death bowling options.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

After winning the IPL in 2016, the Sunrisers then went to the playoffs four seasons in a row but have missed out three seasons on the trot before finding the winning formula last year. 

Cummins was a brilliant captain, taking regular wickets, Travis Head built up the best opening partnership in IPL alongside newly capped Abhishek Sharma, while Heinrich Klaasen continued his form of the last two years. It should surprise no one these four players have been retained, with Klaasen the highest paid retained player with INR 23 crore. They added explosive Indian wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan to the lineup, while also bolstering the spin attack. The second day should be more about depth that anything else.
