IPL 2025, All Ten Teams Squad Analysis: The Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) once again raised its level. Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer were bid for a record amount in the mega auction, while 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi also managed to become a millionaire. The mega auction was held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which further increased the global reach of the league. There were successful bids for 182 players in this two-day event. The analysis of all the teams after this memorable IPL auction is as follows.

Chennai Super Kings Chennai's team focused on retaining its old players in the auction. The team bought Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra for Rs 6.25 crore and Rs 4 crore respectively, while Sam Curran (Rs 2.40 crore) and Rahul Tripathi (Rs 3.40 crore) did not have to spend much money. The team did not hesitate to spend money on spinners like Noor Ahmed (10 crore) and experienced Ravichandran Ashwin (9.75). Fast bowling seems to be the weak link of the team where Australia's Nathan Ellis and Khalil Ahmed will have to play an important role.

Mumbai Indians, the team that spent Rs 75 crore on retaining Rohit Sharma, Jaspreet Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Tilak Verma, reached the auction with the lowest amount of Rs 45 crore. The team focused on strengthening its bowling in the auction. Their biggest purchases were New Zealand veteran Trent Boult (Rs 12.5 crore) and Deepak Chahar (Rs 9.25 crore). To compensate for the departure of Tim David, the team successfully bid for England batsman Will Jacks. The team could not retain Ishan Kishan, so Rohit Sharma can open the innings with South Africa's Ryan Rickelton.

Delhi Capitals

Delhi Capitals surprisingly let go of their most important player Pant. They bought 19 players in the auction after retaining Axar Patel, Tristan Stubbs, Kuldeep Yadav , and Abhishek Porel. The team spent the biggest amount of Rs 14 crore on Lokesh Rahul while Jack Fraser McGurk was added to the team for Rs 9 crore using RTM. Both these players can open the innings. No one doubts Rahul's talent but his strike rate has been under question. It remains to be seen whether he will lead the franchise. The team has many good players in the middle order, while the fast bowling has been strengthened with the arrival of Mitchell Starc and T Natarajan. The spin department of the team is strong with the presence of Axar and Kuldeep.

Royal Challengers Bangalore RCB retained three players (Virat Kohli, Yash Dayal, and Rajat Patidar). Due to this, they had a good amount in the auction. Fast bowling has been a weak link for RCB in the last few years and they have tried to fix it by adding Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar to the team. The team has relied on England players like Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, and Philip Salt. Kohli can be seen leading the team once again.

Kolkata Knight Riders

KKR bought 15 players in the auction and bought Venkatesh Iyer for a whopping Rs 23.75 crore. His ultra-aggressive attitude with the bat last season benefited the team when it won its third title. KKR has retained most of the players who performed well last season, but it will be interesting to see who captains the team after Shreyas' unexpected exit. Venkatesh could be the potential captain if KKR hands over the leadership reins to an Indian.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Like KKR, SRH also retained their core players including Abhishek Sharma, Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Nitish Redd,y and Heinrich Klaasen who performed well last season. The Cummins-led side managed to get the players they wanted at a good price. They include Ishan Kishan (Rs 11.25 crore), Mohammed Shami (Rs 10 crore), Harshal Patel (Rs 8 crore) and Adam Zampa (Rs 2.40 crore). They also have good backup for the Indian fast bowlers and Rahul Chahar is another effective leg-spin option along with Zampa.

Lucknow Super GiantsLucknow Super Giants bought 19 players in the auction after retaining Nicholas Pooran, Ravi Bishnoi, Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, and Ayush Badoni. The team made a record bid of Rs 27 crore for Rishabh Pant, who is set to captain the franchise. Pant is the most expensive player in IPL history. The franchise strengthened its fast bowling by spending big money on Avesh Khan (Rs 9.75 crore) and Akash Deep (Rs 8 crore). The potential opening pair of Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram does not look very effective, which will put more responsibility on Pant and Pooran. If bowlers like Mohsin and Mayank maintain their fitness for 14 matches, it will strengthen the team.

Rajasthan Royals

The Royals bought 14 players in the auction. They also retained six players. The retained players included five batsmen and only one bowler in the form of Sandeep Sharma, so the team's focus was on strengthening the bowling. They bid Rs 12.5 crore for Jofra Archer but the fitness of this bowler has always been in question. It remains to be seen how much Sri Lanka's Mahesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga can fill the void of bowlers like Yuzvendra Chahal and R Ashwin. Apart from this, 13-year-old batsman Suryavanshi from Bihar will also be in the headlines. If this player, who made his first-class debut at the age of just 12, gets a chance in the upcoming season, he will become the youngest player in this league.

Punjab Kings

After retaining only two uncapped (who have not played an international match) players, the Punjab Kings franchise reached the auction with the biggest amount. The team made successful bids for 23 players, with the biggest amount going to IPL-winning captain Shreyas Iyer. The team spent Rs 26.75 crore for Iyer and it is quite likely that he will lead the team. Punjab, which has consistently performed poorly since the start of the IPL, is relying on new head coach Ricky Ponting to change its fortunes. Apart from Arshdeep Singh, the team does not have an experienced Indian fast bowler, which will increase the burden on New Zealand's Lockie Ferguson and all-rounders Marcus Stoinis and Marco Jansen. Chahal and Harpreet Brar will handle the spin. Delhi's young batsman Priyansh Arya has also received a big amount from Punjab Kings.

Gujarat Titans

After retaining five players, Gujarat bought 20 players. This purchase included many fast bowlers including Kagiso Rabada, Gerald Coetzee, Mohammad Siraj, Ishant Sharma, and Prasidh Krishna. The top order of the team will be strengthened with the arrival of Jos Buttler. He can open the innings with captain Shubman Gill. The middle order is the weak link of the team, due to which the responsibility will increase on retained batsmen like Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan.
