IPL Chairman CONFIRMS that a mega auction will take place before the 2025 season

IPL chairman Dhumal also said that all franchises can keep a maximum of 3-4 players, the rest they have to buy.

Mumbai: What will be a good news for franchises and fans is that there will be a mega auction ahead of the Indian Premier League 2025. The IPL chairman has made this huge revelation. Dhumal also said that all franchises can retain a maximum of 3-4 players, the rest they have to buy.

“We will definitely have a mega auction, where you can choose three or four players and then you have a new team. That makes it more interesting and that format will continue to exist,” Arun Dhumal told Sportstar.

“Hopefully the mega auction will be as big and good as we have had before as newer talents come in who are not from India and other countries. Teams like Afghanistan have also benefited as they were able to showcase their talent,” he added.

Meanwhile, IPL 2024 will start in less than a fortnight. In the opener, defending champions Chennai Super Kings will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore. The competition will take place on March 22 at the iconic MA. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
