The big IPL Auction takeaways: Indian stars outshine overseas peers; no room for nostalgia in performance-driven bids

Hindustan Times  

The Indian Premier League's maiden foray into the lucrative Saudi Arabian market wasn't just momentous, it was also path-breaking in many ways. Lucknow Super Giants have assembled a very refreshing team at the IPL 2025 mega auction For two days, ten franchises went hammer and tongs in Jeddah in the mega auction ahead of IPL 2025, seeking to assemble squads that will give them the best chance of success over the next three years. KKR’s decision to buy back all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer for a jaw-dropping ₹23.75 crore made eyes pop and jaws touch the ground. The highest-paid overseas cricketer is England white-ball captain Jos Buttler, who went to Shubman Gill and Ashish Nehra’s Gujarat Titans at ₹15.75 crore, while Delhi might feel Rahul at ₹14 crore is a steal, considering he is also expected to lead the franchise’s fortunes. It also didn’t stagger anyone that neither David Warner nor Kane Williamson attracted any attention, or that the undisciplined Prithvi Shaw, his fellow Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan and Mayank Agarwal went unsold.
