The 2025 IPL auction is right around the corner. Scheduled to take place on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, this event will be a mega-auction where most teams are expected to see a complete revamp.
Last held in 2022, mega-auctions allow franchises to retain only a maximum of six players and build the rest of the squad from scratch. Moreover, with over 1,574 players set to be auctioned and each team management having a maximum limit of Rs 120 crore, the cash-rich affair will be one of the most important restructurings in recent IPL history, with a major focus on young talent.
Interestingly, not every franchise has the same amount of money left in their purse for the auction. Teams like the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) have already spent their money on key retentions.
As such, before the IPL 2025 auction, here is the list of each team’s available purse money for the mega-event as well as the names of their biggest retentions for the upcoming season.
Punjab Kings currently have the most cash available at their disposal with Rs 110.5 crore. The franchise has retained only Shashank Singh for Rs 5.5 crore and Prabhsimran Singh for Rs 4 crore and thus, has 23 available slots to fill.
Retaining Virat Kohli for Rs 21 crore, Rajat Patidar for Rs 11 crore, and Yash Dayal for Rs 5 crore has left the Royal Challengers Bangalore with Rs 83 crore remaining to spend in the IPL 2025 auction.
Last captained by Rishabh Pant, the Delhi Capitals did not retain the Indian star batsman. Instead, they have kept Axar Patel for Rs 16.50 crore, Kuldeep Yadav for Rs 13.25 crore, Tristan Stubbs for Rs 10 crore, and Abishek Porel for Rs 4 crore. As of now, they have Rs 73 crore to grab the remaining squad members in the 2025 auction.
With 20 available slots, the Gujarat Titans will go into the IPL 2025 auction carrying Rs 69 crore in their purse. Rashid Khan for Rs 18 crore, Shubman Gill for Rs 16.5 crore, Sai Sudharsan for Rs 8.5 crore, Rahul Tewatia for Rs 4 crore, and Shahrukh Khan for Rs 4 crore are the retentions that GT has made so far.
The franchise will go into the IPL 2025 auction with Rs 69 crore available to spend. Despite releasing KL Rahul, the Lucknow Super Giants retained Nicholas Pooran for Rs 21 crore, Ravi Bishnoi for Rs 11 crore, Mayank Yadav for Rs 11 crore, Mohsin Khan for Rs 4 crore, and Ayush Badoni for Rs 4 crore.
The five-time champions made a strategic retention of veteran star Mahendra Singh Dhoni by claiming him as an uncapped player for just Rs 4 crore. Additionally, they also kept Ruturaj Gaikwad for Rs 18 crore, Ravindra Jadeja for Rs 18 crore, Matheesha Pathirana for Rs 13 crore, and Shivam Dube for Rs 12 crore. For the IPL 2025 auction, they have a purse of Rs 55 crore.
The defending champions currently have Rs 51 crore to spend. The Kolkata Knight Riders have retained Rinku Singh for Rs 13 crore, Varun Chakravarthy for Rs 12 crore, Sunil Narine for Rs 12 crore, Andre Russell for Rs 12 crore, Harshit Rana for Rs 4 crore, and Ramandeep Singh for Rs 4 crore.

Keeping Rs 45 crore in their purse, the Sunrisers Hyderabad have retained Heinrich Klaasen for Rs 23 crore, Pat Cummins for Rs 18 crore, Abhishek Sharma for Rs 14 crore, Travis Head for Rs 14 crore, and Nitish Kumar Reddy for Rs 6 crore.
