Rishabh Pant shattered the record for the most expensive player at an IPL auction after being bought by Lucknow Super Giants for INR 27 crores.

Pant surpassed the INR 26.75 crores that Punjab Kings shelled out to sign Shreyas Iyer a little while earlier in the first marquee set of the IPL 2025 mega auction.

LSG entered the bidding for Pant right from the front and stayed the course to thwart attempts from Royal Challengers Bengaluru as well as the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Eventually, the bidding stopped at INR 20.75 crores at which point the Delhi Capitals indicated their interest to use the Right To Match (RTM) option. LSG then decided to hike up the price to INR 27 crores as per the new RTM regulations, which proved to be beyond DC's valuation of their former captain.
