What Happened in IPL 2024? 

Before reading more about the IPL 2025 match list, let us first revisit the last season of the world’s biggest T20 league.  

The season saw the rise of underdogs. Kolkata Knight Riders, led by the explosive batting and equally brilliant bowling of Sunil Narine and the masterful bowling of Mitchell Starc towards the latter end, performed really well to clinch the trophy. Young guns like Abhishek Sharma (SRH) and Riyan Parag (RR) showcased their talent, pushing established stars for their spots.

This edition of the league especially belonged to the batters with scores of over 250 being hit casually. The tournament overall was a nail-biting affair, with several last-over finishes and close encounters. The playoffs were particularly exciting, with each match going down to the wire. The final between KKR and SRH, however, was a one-sided affair which was ultimately won by KKR by 8 wickets.

IPL 2025 Auction 

Before announcing the TATA IPL 2025 schedule, BCCI might first make sure that the IPL 2025 auction has been successfully completed. This auction will be very interesting to look out for as it will be a mega auction. Moreover, all eyes are on the Indian legend MS Dhoni, who can possibly retire from competitive cricket. 

IPL 2025 Teams

Also, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma might also leave Mumbai Indians after being removed from captaincy last year.  

Each IPL franchise will be armed with a purse of INR 100 Crore to spend at the auction. This massive budget allows them to target a diverse pool of players, including capped and uncapped Indian talents alongside overseas stars. However, this doesn’t mean teams have to spend everything. The rules say that at least 75% (INR 75 Crore) of the budget must be allocated to player acquisition.

Franchises often employ a calculated approach when utilising their auction budget. While 30-40% can be spent on securing the top 5 players they want, building a well-rounded team requires strategic acquisitions throughout the auction.

IPL 2025 Points Table

When it comes to selecting which clubs will make it to the playoffs, this table will be an extremely important factor as the season unfolds. As a result of the intense competition that will take place for the top positions, the top four teams will be guaranteed a seat in the playoffs.
