IPL 2025 All 10 Teams Confirmed Official Squad Players List

Rishabh Pant’s historic achievement in our official squad and players list for all 10 teams post the IPL 2025 Auction. 

‘A Historic Outing’ is how we would define the IPL 2025 Mega Auction as records tumbled on days 1 and 2 of the Auction. Be it the most expensive player sold in the history of the Auction in the form of Rishabh Pant, the most expensive spinner at the Auction, or the most expensive Indian fast bowler at the Auction, all those records saw the light of the day during the historic gathering. 

A total of 72 players were sold on Day 1 and 110 players on Day 2 of the IPL 2025 Mega Auction with 126 being Indian players, and 56 being Overseas players. Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, and Venkatesh Iyer were the top 3 most expensive players at the Auction with Pant getting 27 Cr, Shreyas Iyer getting 26.75 Cr, and Venkatesh getting 23,75 Cr. Surprisingly, some of the biggest names like KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan were sold for a meagre 14 Cr and 11.25 Cr respectively. 

Overall, at the end of the Auction, Chennai Super Kings Gujarat Titans, and Punjab Kings have the most 25 players in the squad, and Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad have the least 20 players in the squad. With the Auction now officially completed, let’s look at the complete official squad and players list for all 10 teams at the end of day 2 of the IPL 2025 Mega Auction.
