IPL 2025 will happen next year, and the BCCI has already confirmed a mega auction for the next year. A mega auction means that the franchises can only retain a maximum of three or four players, as decided by the organizing committee.
It also means that most of the players who are being retained receive an increment in their salaries because the teams must have signed them for cheaper amounts. Here’s a list of five such cricketers who may get a huge salary boost in IPL 2025.
1. Ruturaj Gaikwad will receive a big salary boost in IPL 2025
Ruturaj Gaikwad agreed to play for CSK for just a 6 crore contract ahead of the mega auction in 2022. The right-handed batter is now the captain of the franchise, which is why his salary may go past 10 crore now.
2. Shubman Gill will receive a big salary boost in IPL 2025
Another right-handed batter from India to appear on the list is Shubman Gill. The new Gujarat Titans captain had a 8 crore contract in 2022, which should go up past 10 crore now.
3. Rinku Singh
Kolkata Knight Riders unearthed a new talent in the form of Rinku Singh over the last two years. The southpaw is one of the best finishers in the world now, and he deserves a salary of more than his current one of 55 lakh.
4. Kyle Mayers
Lucknow Super Giants signed explosive Caribbean all-rounder Kyle Mayers at his base price of INR 50 lakh. He has proven himself as a game-changer, and more teams will chase him now.
5. Kuldeep Yadav
Delhi Capitals signed Kuldeep Yadav for just INR 2 crore in 2022. The left-arm wrist spinner has improved a lot since then, and he will likely get a bigger salary in the next mega auction.
