IPL 2025 Mega Auction: Anticipating Shreyas Iyer's Arrival At The Bidding Table

Shreyas Iyer is among the marquee players in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Known for his leadership and batting prowess, Iyer has made a significant mark in the IPL. His journey began with the Delhi Capitals, where he captained from 2018 to 2020, leading them to their first-ever final in 2020.

In 2022, Iyer joined Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for Rs 12.25 crore and became their captain. Despite KKR's inconsistent performance, Iyer's individual contributions were noteworthy. He scored 401 runs in 14 matches during IPL 2022, averaging 30.85 with a strike rate over 134.

Iyer missed IPL 2023 due to injury but led KKR to their third title in IPL 2024. However, he is not retained by KKR and will be available in the auction. As one of the biggest names on the list, many teams are expected to bid aggressively for him.

The IPL 2025 auction will take place in Jeddah on Sunday and Monday. The first set of players, including marquee names like Iyer, will be auctioned on Sunday. He is listed as one of the twelve marquee players with a base price of Rs 2 crore.

Iyer's recent century against Goa in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy has further increased his appeal among potential bidders. His performance makes him a prime target for teams looking to strengthen their middle order.

The auction begins at 3:30 pm IST on Sunday, and Iyer could be picked early or later as the sixth player. His name is expected to come up between 3:30 and 4:30 pm on November 24.
