The final shortlist of players for the IPL 2025 auction was unveiled on Friday, November 15th. During the registration process for the auction, players have the opportunity to establish their base price, which represents the minimum amount a team must bid to secure their services. The maximum allowable base price is set at INR 2 crores, approximately equivalent to $237,000.
Typically, only top-tier Indian and international players opt for this maximum base price, while uncapped players and those in lower tiers often choose lower base prices to enhance their chances of securing a contract.
For the upcoming IPL 2025 auction, a total of 81 out of 574 players have set their base price at the maximum amount. Among the 12 players divided between the two marquee sets, 11 have chosen the INR 2 crore base price, with the exception being South African batsman David Miller, who has set his base price at INR 1.5 crore.
Notable Indian players who have set their base price at INR 2 crore include last year's IPL-winning captain, Shreyas Iyer, as well as Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, and R Ashwin.
Among the international players who have opted for the INR 2 crore base price are stars like Jos Buttler, Kagiso Rabada, Liam Livingstone, and Glenn Maxwell, along with promising talents such as Jake Fraser-McGurk, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Finn Allen, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz.
