Currently, Mitchell Starc holds the record for the most expensive player at the IPL mini-auction. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had spent ₹24.75 crore to sign the Australia pacer in 2024. This record may not be broken this time, and that was taken by the KKR.
KKR arrive with ₹64.30 crore purse, but BCCI introduces ₹18 crore salary cap for overseas players
According to this rule, no overseas player can earn more than ₹18 crore, even if the bidding crosses that amount. This new rule was introduced before the 2025 mega auction, setting ₹18 crore as the highest slab for overseas retention.
The rule states that if a franchise bids more than ₹18 crore for any overseas cricketer, the player will still receive only ₹18 crore. The extra amount, anything above ₹18 crore, will be taken by the BCCI and used for player welfare programs.
Indian players free from ₹18 crore cap
This means if players like Green or Pathirana get a ₹20 crore bid at the upcoming auction, they will personally take home ₹18 crore, and the remaining ₹2 crore will go to BCCI’s welfare fund. However, the franchise will have to pay the full ₹20 crore from its auction money.
