The IPL 2025 Mega Auction is generating buzz over whether key players like Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant will return to their former franchises. These two Indian superstars bring a combination of leadership, reliability, and explosive batting to the auction pool, making them prime targets for teams looking to bolster their lineups.
Shreyas Iyer, who has played for Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders in the past, is remembered for leading Delhi to their maiden IPL final in 2020. With over 100 matches and consistent performances, Iyer has proved his mettle as a dependable top-order batter. His base price of ₹2 crore reflects his value as a marquee player. Franchises that need a solid middle-order batter and a potential captain will be eager to bring him back into the fold.
Rishabh Pant, on the other hand, is a powerhouse who has been the face of the Delhi Capitals for several years. With his fearless batting and ability to finish games in style, Pant is among the most impactful players in IPL history. At 27, he brings a wealth of experience with over 110 matches under his belt. His base price of ₹2 crore ensures that teams in need of an aggressive finisher or wicketkeeper will keep a close eye on him.
As the auction unfolds, the big question remains: will their former teams bring these stars back, or will new franchises swoop in to claim them? Both Iyer and Pant have loyal fan bases rooting for their return, but the final decision lies in the hands of the auction dynamics.
