Rishabh Pant Becomes 'Most Expensive' Again in Mega Auction, Sold for 33 Cr to PBKS.

Nearly every IPL mock auction predicts that Rishabh Pant would sell for the greatest money at the 2025 IPL Auction. At R Ashwin's IPL simulated auction, the Indian keeper-batter was acquired for an astounding 18.75 Cr at the KKR mock auction before moving to PBKS for 20.5 Cr.

Rishabh Pant Most Expensive Once Again, Goes to PBKS.

Rishabh Pant shattered all previous records at JioCinema's "Mega Auction War Room" by selling PBKS for an incredible 33 Cr. Eoin Morgan, representing "Team Punjab," did not hesitate to increase his bid for the extremely gifted Pant. Naturally, each team's remaining money was identical to that of the actual teams. To put it briefly, PBKS spent 33 Cr instead of 110.5 Cr on Pant.

Everyone needs to be reminded that Pant is one of the most sought-after IPL players and will be considered by every team. He was not retained by DC at the October 31 IPL Retentions. He was placed into the IPL Auction in spite of his outstanding performances for the squad. PBKS will now be the leading team to sign him, followed by CSK and even KKR.

Returning to the "Mega Auction War Room," PBKS moved on to acquire players like Jos Buttler and used an RTM for bowler Arshdeep Singh in addition to Rishabh Pant.

When it comes to Rishabh Pant's IPL record, it is unmatched. He has amassed 3284 runs with a strike rate of 148.93 and an average of 35.31 in 111 games. Aside from that, he scored 446 runs at an average of 40 in 13 games last year while recovering from a potentially fatal injury.
