Shreyas Iyer followed closely with a Rs 26.75 crore deal with Punjab Kings, who also secured Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh for Rs 18 crore each (the latter through the right-to-match option). Kolkata Knight Riders spent Rs 23.75 crore on Venkatesh Iyer, solidifying his position as a top all-rounder. These high-value acquisitions underscore the franchises' focus on proven Indian talent to strengthen their squads for the upcoming season.  LSG squad for IPL 2025

Bihar's Vaibhav Suryavanshi became the youngest player to be picked by an Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, joining Rajasthan Royals for Rs 1.10 crore. At just 13 years old, Suryavanshi is already hailed as a prodigy. The teenager made his T20 debut for Bihar in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy against Rajasthan last Saturday, scoring 13 off 6 balls before falling to Deepak Chahar.

 

Suryavanshi has also set international records, becoming the youngest batter to score a century in Youth Test cricket with a blazing 104 off 62 balls for India Under-19 against Australia U-19 in Chennai.

Veteran Bhuvneshwar Kumar Bags Rs 10.75 Crore

  Out-of-favour India pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar proved his IPL worth as Royal Challengers Bengaluru bid Rs 10.75 crore for the seasoned bowler. With 300 wickets from 287 T20 matches and an economy rate below eight, the 35-year-old remains a valuable asset despite being out of national contention since November 2022.

 

The IPL’s demand for experienced Indian pacers ensured lucrative deals for bowlers like Bhuvneshwar, injury-prone Deepak Chahar (Rs 9.25 crore to Mumbai Indians), and Mukesh Kumar (Rs 8 crore retained by Delhi Capitals).

Deepak Chahar Eyes India Comeback

  Chahar expressed confidence in his fitness, having bowled extensively in the Ranji Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The Mumbai Indians recruit stated, "My main goal is to play for India again. I’m ready to give my best in all 14 matches for MI."

 

With Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult leading the MI pace attack, Chahar aims to contribute with both the new ball and at the death. "I thrive on challenges and hope to deliver with both bat and ball," he said.  MI squad for IPL 2025
