IPL 2025 Updates: The auction date for the next season of IPL has been decided. The player auction will be held on November 24th and 25th of this month. Bidding worth crores of rupees will be held on this day. Players will become the owners of Crore Rupees in a matter of minutes. But what’s interesting is that this time players have already suffered losses before the auction. Especially in this list, all the names of players have been reserved before the auction.

This time, Sunrisers Hyderabad hired Pat Cummins for less money.

SRH, or Sunrisers Hyderabad, acquired Pat Cummins for Rs 2,050 crore in last year’s auction. The team also retained him this time, but this time his salary was reduced. This time, SRH has provided funding of up to 230 million rupees to Heinrich Klaasen. If we talk about Pat Cummins, this time he is retained for Rs 18 crore. This means they suffered a slight loss. This was the form as captain Pat Cummins successfully led SRH to the IPL final.

KKR also reduces Andre Russell’s salary

Now let’s talk about Andre Russell, one of the best players in the West Indies. Playing for KKR (i.e. Kolkata Knight Riders) from the beginning till now. Last time, KKR retained him for Rs 16 crore. Although they retained him this time, he can only get Rs 12 lakh now.

MS Dhoni retained for just Rs 4 crore

MS Dhoni’s name is also included in this list. Earlier, Dhoni was offered Rs 12 crore to stay, but this time he got only Rs 4 crore. This means they suffered a direct loss of Rs 8 crore. This time, however, Dhoni was kept as an unavailable player.

Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan are also included in this list

Something similar happened to Rahul Tewatia and Shah Rukh Khan. When Rahul Tewatia was earlier hired by the Gujarat Titans, his salary was Rs 9 crore, but this time he was retained for only Rs 4 crore. Shahrukh Khan was acquired by GT for 740 million rupees, but this time he got only 40 million rupees. Both players were also listed as inactive.
