5 teams with biggest purses and possible strategy for IPL 2025 mega auction

WIth just a week left for the IPL 2025 mega auction in Jeddah, we take a look five teams with the biggest purses and their possible strategy

PBKS have the largest purse worth Rs 110.5 crore after retaining just two uncapped players and will have to build a team from scratch in the mega auction, with Rishabh Pant a top candidate for captaincy

RCB have the second biggest purse worth Rs 83 crore, and getting a quality wicket-keeper along with a long-term captain would be ideal, for which someone like local boy KL Rahul would be perfect

DC too are in need of a captain and Shreyas Iyer, who had led them to the 2020 final, could be one of their top targets in the auction

GT were left with a purse of Rs 69 crore after five retentions, which does not include a pacer and that is one department that will be an area of focus for them in the auction

LSG too have Rs 69 crore in the kitty and are likely to target top-order batters as well as pacers, both Indian as well as overseas
