List of 2025 Indian Premier League personnel changes

The 2025 Indian Premier League was the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), a professional Twenty20 (T20) cricket league held in India, organized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). It has been held annually since the first edition in 2008. In July 2024, the IPL Governing Council held a meeting with the owners of the franchises and announced that a mega auction would be conducted ahead of the 2025 season. It was the sixth mega auction after 2008, 2011, 2014, 2018 and 2022. The franchises were required to submit their retention lists before 31 October 2024, and a total of 46 players were retained ahead of the auction. The auction was held on 24 and 25 November 2024 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with the auction purse for each franchise set at ₹120 crore (US$13 million), the highest in the history of the IPL. A total of 1,574 players registered for the auction, of which 574 players were shortlisted to feature in the auction and 182 were sold in the auction. Rishabh Pant became the most expensive player in the history of IPL when he was bought by the Lucknow Super Giants for ₹27 crore (US$2 million), surpassing ₹26 crore (US$2 million) paid by the Punjab Kings for Shreyas Iyer earlier in the same auction, and ₹24 crore (US$2 million) paid by the Kolkata Knight Riders for Mitchell Starc in the 2024 auction. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi became the youngest player sold in the IPL history at the age of 13 years, being bought by the Rajasthan Royals for ₹1 crore (US$120,000). Following the IPL's suspension and rescheduling, it was announced that the franchises were allowed to sign temporary replacement players in place of unavailable players as the rescheduled fixtures clashed with the international cricket calendar, notably the West Indies' tour of Ireland, the West Indies' tour of England and the World Test Championship final. These temporary replacement players were not available for retention in the 2026 auction.
