The IPL 2025 mega auction was back on Day 2 after a gripping opening day in Jeddah. As many as 72 players were sold on Day 1 of the bidding war as the 10 teams splashed a massive sum of Rs 467.95 crore.
Rishabh Pant broke the record for the most expensive player at an IPL auction after being roped in by Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 27 crore. Shreyas Iyer bagged 26.75 crore as Punjab Kings broke the bank for him.
While 72 players were sold on the opening day, 12 players found no takers on Day 1. Some didn't have any bids on the second day of the auction. Here is a list of players who were not sold on Day 2 of the auction. (Note that players can return in the accelerated round if not picked in the main round.
