IPL 2025 Auction: Shreyas Iyer Sold To PBKS For Record-breaking Bid Of Rs 26.75 Cr
Former Kolkata Knight Riders: Former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 winning captain Shreyas Iyer was sold to Punjab Kings for a whopping Rs 26.75 crore, the highest ever bid in the history of the tournament in the IPL 2024 Auction here at the Abadi Al Johar Arena in Jeddah on Sunday.
With a base price of Rs 2 crore, KKR wasted no time, making the first bid for their former leader. However, Punjab Kings (PBKS) quickly joined the fray, pushing the price up to Rs. 2.20 crore.
As the price surged to Rs 5 crore, it was a two-horse race between KKR and PBKS. The tension mounted as KKR pushed their bid to Rs. 7.25 crore, but then, in a dramatic twist, Delhi Capitals (DC) threw their hat into the ring with a Rs 7.50 crore offer. DC raised the stakes to Rs 10 crore, but the bid climbed steadily as PBKS and DC traded blows, reaching Rs. 13.50 crore, then Rs 16 crore, and eventually Rs 20 crore.
