IPL 2025 Mega Auction: The mega auction for IPL 2025 is currently taking place in Jeddah city of Saudi Arabia. This time, bidding is going on to buy 333 players in the world’s most expensive cricket T20 league. In the mega auction, all the 10 teams participating in the tournament are seen bidding to fill the 204 vacant slots.

In the mega auction, the players included in the marquee list are the first to be seen bidding. Meanwhile, the experienced Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who is included in this list and has taken the most wickets in IPL, has been included in his team by Punjab Kings by paying a huge amount of Rs 18 crore.

After this, Punjab Kings (PBKS) have included the experienced middle order batsman of the Indian team, Shreyas Iyer by paying a huge amount of Rs 26.75 crore. Punjab Kings have paid a price of Rs 44.75 crore to buy both the players. So after Punjab bought these two players for a huge amount, a big statement from the team’s former coach Tom Moody has come out.

Tom Moody gave a big statement

Let us tell you that after Punjab Kings bought Arshdeep Singh and Shreyas Iyer in the IPL auction, Tom Moody quoted Hindustan Times as saying – This tells us that Punjab came to this auction with a pocket full of crores, and now He has emptied them very quickly with the auction of two players.

Yes, you knew they were going to be hard soon, because of the position they were in. I don’t think fans around the world were expecting to pay Rs 18 crore for Arshdeep or almost Rs 27 crore for Shreyas Iyer. They have got their two players, but they have paid a heavy price for it.
