Ex-India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has named Rishabh Pant, Arshdeep Singh, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer and Mitchell Starc as the top picks for the IPL 2025 mega auction. "The first 10 names in the auction will cross ₹100 crore combined—more than some leagues’ total budgets," Irfan said, referring to the marquee list. The auction will begin at 3.30 pm on Sunday.
