Mumbai Indians do pick Arjun Tendulkar at long last. Rs 30L, and the crowd cheers 'Sachin, Sachin'!

SRH buy Sachin Baby for Rs 30L, and that will be the end of their buys in the IPL 2025 mega auction. They have only Rs 20L left, and the minimum base price of any player is Rs 30L.

20-player squad with some big names for the Orange Army.

KKR add Umran Malik to their roster of young Indian pacers! Sold for Rs 75L. Let's hope Umran can revive his career under the guidance of Bharat Arun at KKR.

Another talented youngster goes without a bid. Dewald Brevis, hailed as the 'Baby AB de Villiers' does not find a bid at Rs 75L.

Anmolpreet Singh does not find a bidder.
