As anticipation builds for IPL 2025, all 10 franchises have released their list of retained players. For fans awaiting updates, there’s good news about the mega auction before the IPL 2025 season. According to media reports, the potential date and venue for the mega auction have been revealed, although an official announcement is yet to be made.
Date and Venue of the Mega Auction
This time, the mega auction is expected to take place over two days, on November 24 and 25. It is likely to be held in Riyadh, the capital city of Saudi Arabia. Scheduling the auction was challenging due to the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia, with the first Test match taking place from November 22 to 26.
Live Broadcast of the Mega Auction
The rights for the live broadcast of both the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and the mega auction are held by Disney Star. To avoid overlap and potential losses, the broadcasters want to ensure that the auction and the match don’t clash. The first Test match will start at 7:50 AM IST, so the auction is expected to be held in the evening, allowing both events to proceed without conflicting.
Star Players to be Featured in the Mega Auction
Big names like K.L. Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Mohammed Shami, Ishan Kishan, Arshdeep Singh, Glenn Maxwell, Jos Buttler, and Marcus Stoinis are expected to participate in this mega auction, making it an exciting event for fans and franchises alike.
