‘Does Shreyas Iyer Really Deserve’: Fans Question PBKS' 26.75 Crore Bid For Shreyas Iyer In IPL 2025 Mega Auction

The IPL 2025 Mega Auction is gearing up to be a spectacle, and one of the key questions is whether the Mumbai Indians (MI) will aim to re-sign their former star, Ishan Kishan. With a base price of Rs 2 crore, Kishan, a prolific wicketkeeper-batter, remains a prized asset for any team. While MI retained key players ahead of the auction, their remaining purse of Rs 45 crore puts them in a tight spot compared to franchises with bigger budgets. However, Kishan’s explosive batting at the top order and his familiarity with MI’s system might make him a priority target. Will Mumbai’s strategic planning allow them to reclaim Kishan, or will another team swoop in with a bigger bid?

Rishabh Pant became the IPL's most expensive player, sold to LSG for ₹27 crore at the 2025 mega auction. He surpassed Shreyas Iyer’s 26.75 crore record. 

While talking to the official broadcaster, PBKS head coach Ricky Ponting disclosed that Iyer did not answer his call before the mega-auction.
