The Indian Premier League (IPL) is expected to hold its next Mega Auction in January 2025. The exact dates and venue are yet to be officially announced, but sources suggest that the auction could take place in either Bengaluru or Kochi. The IPL Governing Council will make the final decision on the dates and venue in the coming months.

Remaining Purse and Slots of All Teams After Retention

The IPL teams have already submitted their lists of retained players for the 2023-25 cycle. The remaining purse and slots of each team after the retention process are as follows: Team | Remaining Purse (INR Crores) | Remaining Slots Mumbai Indians | 15.35 | 6 Chennai Super Kings | 14.50 | 5 Royal Challengers Bangalore | 13.35 | 7 Delhi Capitals | 12.15 | 6 Lucknow Super Giants | 11.60 | 7 Rajasthan Royals | 11.50 | 7 Punjab Kings | 11.30 | 7 Sunrisers Hyderabad | 10.75 | 8 Kolkata Knight Riders | 10.50 | 8 Gujarat Titans | 10.25 | 8

Impact of Remaining Purse and Slots on Auction Strategy

The remaining purse and slots of each team will have a significant impact on their auction strategy. Teams with a larger purse will have more flexibility to bid for top players, while teams with fewer slots will need to be more strategic in their bidding. Teams with a higher number of remaining slots will likely focus on filling out their squad with a mix of experienced and emerging players. Teams with a lower number of slots will need to prioritize their needs and target specific players who can fill multiple roles. The IPL Mega Auction is a crucial event for teams as it gives them an opportunity to reshape their squads and build a strong foundation for the upcoming seasons. The auction is expected to be a closely contested affair, with teams vying for the best players available.
