Rishabh Pant breaks IPL auction record, bought by Lucknow Super Giants for $4.9m, Mitchell Starc goes for $2.2m

Rishabh Pant played last season in the IPL for Delhi Capitals — but now the Lucknow Super Giants have paid nearly $5 million to buy him for 2025.

Rishabh Pant has become the most expensive player in the history of the Indian Premier League after the wicketkeeper-batter was sold for $4.9 million to Lucknow Super Giants.

However, there was a huge drop in price for Aussie fast bowler Mitchell Starc when Delhi bought him for $2.2m — less than half last year's record $2.98m paid by Kolkata for the Australian left-arm fast bowler.

It leaves Pat Cummins ($2.14m, Sunrisers Hyderabad) as the most expensive Australian in the auction.

Veteran David Warner and Jonny Bairstow of England were two of the biggest names who remained unsold on the opening day after none of the 10 franchises showed interest.

Australians were well represented, however, with Jake Fraser-McGurk (Delhi), Mitch Marsh (Lucknow), Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell (Punjab), Josh Hazlewood (Bengaluru), Travis Head and Adam Zampa (Hyderabad) securing deals.

Pant overtook Shreyas Iyer, who went to Punjab Kings for $4.85m earlier on Sunday — the first day of the cricket mega auction, held for the first time in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Pant captained Delhi Capitals across three seasons but was released before this year's mega auction.

Lucknow made the first move and fought off bids from Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Sunrisers Hyderabad as well as Delhi to rope in the 27-year-old celebrated for his six-hitting ability.

Both Pant and Iyer are likely to lead their franchises in the world's richest domestic Twenty20 league, which is set to start on March 14 next year with the final scheduled for May 25.

Gujarat Titans landed Jos Buttler for $2.88m after Rajasthan Royals couldn't buy back the England captain, who is expected to open with Shubman Gill. Gujarat also succeeded in buying South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada for $1.96m.

Mitchell Starc will swap Kolkata for Dehli in next year's IPL.

Delhi could hand the captaincy to former Lucknow skipper Lokesh Rahul, whom they bought for $2.55m.

The biggest surprise of the day was all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer, who was eventually sold to Kolkata Knight Riders for $4.33m after fierce bidding between his former franchise Kolkata and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin will return to Chennai Super Kings for the first time since 2015 for $1.77m.

A total of 574 players have registered for the two-day auction ahead of next year's edition of the 10-team tournament.

The auction finishes on Monday.
