IPL 2025 key rules

Here are some key rules of the IPL auction 2025:
Right-to-Match (RTM) Card: This rule allows a franchises to retain a player they released by matching the highest bid for that player at the auction. However, the team placing the original bid can then counter with a higher bid. So Rishabh Pant can still come back and play for Delhi Capitals.
Marquee sets: The auction will begin with two marquee sets of six players each, featuring top Indian and international stars. Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer are in the first set, while KL Rahul is in the second.
Player order: Following the marquee sets, capped players will be presented based on their specialisations (batters, all-rounders, etc.), followed by uncapped players.
Accelerated auction: To streamline the process, an accelerated auction will begin after the 116th player. Franchises will submit lists of their preferred players from the remaining pool, and those not sold or presented will be auctioned in a second round.
