The likes of Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Ravichandran Ashwin have moved to new teams ahead of the IPL 2025 as they look to bring glory to their respective side.

Here's the A-Z Player facts of the IPL 2025 mega auction:

A - Auction

The Indian Premier League 2025 Auction was a success to say the least. The 10 franchises have snapped up players they wanted and next year could be a mouth-watering competition given the amount of money was splurged on big names.

B- Jacob Bethell

England all-rounder Jacob Bethell made his move to Royal Challengers Bengaluru for INR 2.6 crore during the ongoing Indian Premier League mega auction at Jeddah on Tuesday. During the auction, Bethell attracted bids from SRH and Punjab Kings before RCB jumped in and acquired his services. The young all-rounder has played seven T20Is for England, scoring 173 runs with two fifties at a strike rate of 167.96.

C- Sam Curran

Sam Curran is back at Chennai Super Kings. The English all-rounder, who had once attracted a Rs 18 crore bid, only had a couple of takers with CSK bringing him back home at Rs 2.40 crore. The 26-year-old had worn the CSK colours for the 2020 and 2021 campaigns.

F - Faf du Plessis

A surprising move that saw DC snap up former RCB captain Faf du Plessis at the recently held mega auctions. It will be interesting to see as to whom do the DC management hand over the captaincy reins to, given they have also acquired the services of KL Rahul.

Adivasi cricketer Robin Minz is living the life in the IPL. After representing Gujarat Titans in the 2024 season, wherein he failed to make his debut, Minz met with an unfortunate bike accident ahead of the tourney.
