The battle for Pant just got interesting when Hyderabad joined the race at 11.5 crore to take LSG all through the end. Delhi Capitals had opted for RTM. However, LSG's offer outbid everyone to make Pant the most expensive player in IPL history, beating the fresh record set by Shreyas Iyer. He had made headlines in October by being one of the most surprising names released by franchises during the annual player retention phase ahead of the highly anticipated IPL mega auction.This decision has sent shockwaves through the cricketing community, especially considering Pant's remarkable journey with the Delhi Capitals (DC), where he has become a prominent figure in the league.Pant, who had a base price of Rs 2 crore, was anticipated to be one of the most sought-after players during the auction in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.His IPL statistics highlight his exceptional talent, having amassed 3,284 runs in 111 matches at an average of 35.31, with a striking career-best of 128 not out and an impressive strike rate. Pant, a wicketkeeper-batsman who plays all formats for India, has a T20 International average of 23.25 with just three fifties in 76 matches. However, his overall T20 numbers paint a different picture. He boasts an average of 31.78 and a strike rate exceeding 145 in 202 matches, including two centuries and 25 fifties.Following a serious road accident in late 2022, Pant returned to competitive cricket in the latest IPL season, emerging as the leading run-scorer for DC. He amassed 446 runs in 13 matches at an average of 40.54 and a strike rate of 155.40, including three fifties.In 2021, he was appointed captain of the DC, a role he continued into the 2022 season, during which he exhibited significant leadership growth. His prominence in the team was further solidified when he was acquired again by the franchise in 2024 for a staggering Rs 16 crore during the auction.", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.etimg.com/thumb/msid-115626268,resizemode-4,width-1200,height-900,imgsize-20202,overlay-economictimes/articleshow.jpg", "width": 1200, "height": 900 }, "author": { "@type": "Thing", "name": "ET Online" }, "publisher": { "@type": "NewsMediaOrganization", "name": "Economic Times", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.etimg.com/thumb/msid-76939477,width-600,height-60,quality-100/economictimes.jpg", "width": 600, "height": 60 } } , "isAccessibleForFree" : "https://schema.org/False", "hasPart": { "@type": "WebPageElement", "isAccessibleForFree": "https://schema.org/False", "cssSelector" : ".paywall" }, "isPartOf": { "@type": ["CreativeWork", "Product"], "name" : "Economic Times", "productID": "prime.economictimes.indiatimes.com:prime" } }</script><script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context": "https://schema.org/", "@type" : "WebPage", "name" : "IPL 2025 Auction: Rishabh Pant is the hot pick of the season as LSG makes him the most expensive player in", "speakable" : { "@type": "SpeakableSpecification", "cssSelector" : [".article_wrap h1", ".artSyn h2"] }, "url": "https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/sports/ipl-2025-auction-rishabh-pant-is-the-hot-pick-of-the-season-as-lsg-makes-him-the-most-expensive-player-in-leagues-history/articleshow/115626209.cms" } </script><script type="text/javascript"> //set iframe height on load (function(){ $('#toispecials-iframe').height($(window).height()); })(); /* function scrollIframeToTop() { setTimeout(function() { $('body, html').animate({ scrollTop: $menuEl.offset().top }, 800); }, 500); } scrollIframeToTop(); */ </script><script> var countryCode = window.geoinfo && geoinfo.CountryCode; if (countryCode === "IN"){ $('.inSideInd').addClass("show"); $('.outsideInd').remove(); } else{ $('.outsideInd').addClass("show"); $('.inSideInd').remove(); } window.onload = function() { // setFont(); }; </script><div class="blocker_wrap hidden"><section class="font_mon login_blocker hidden"><div class="lb_head tac">Continue reading with one of these options:</div><div class="lb_box_cont"><div class="lb_box"><div class="lb_boxb"><div class="lb_boxh">Limited Access</div><div class="lb_boxt">Free</div><div class="lb_boxd">Login to get access to some exclusive stories<br> & personalised newsletters</div><div onclick="objPrimePaywall.cta('login')" class="lb_boxbtn">Login Now</div></div></div><div class="lb_box"><div class="lb_boxb"><div class="lb_boxh">Unlimited Access</div><div class="lb_boxt lb_pr">Starting @ Rs120/month</div><div class="lb_boxd">Get access to exclusive stories, expert opinions &<br> in-depth stock reports</div><div onclick="objPrimePaywall.cta('plan')" class="lb_boxbtn">Subscribe Now</div></div></div></div></section><div class="loader_box"><div class="spinner"><div class="loading-text">ET</div></div></div><section class="font_mon prime_paywall"><style> .articleBlockerWrap {width: 650px;background: #ffe9e2;height: 251px;display: none;margin: 2% auto 2%;box-shadow: 0 12px 20px 0 rgb(0 0 0 / 13%);} .articleBlocker {background: #ffe9e2;border: 7px solid white;padding: 28px 22px;width: 567px;margin: auto;text-align: left;position: relative;min-height: 149px;} .articleBlocker h4 {font-size: 24px;font-weight: bold;line-height: 1.27;} .articleBlocker p {font-size: 16px;margin: 15px 0;} .articleBlocker button {background: #ed193b;color: white;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 800;margin: auto;width: 215px;height: 37px;border-radius: 2px;position: absolute;animation: .18s linear infinite alternate slide;} @keyframes slide {from {left: 15px;}to {left: 30px;;}} .articleBlocker button:hover {animation-play-state: paused;cursor: pointer;} .articleBlocker img {position: absolute;right: 22px;height: 120px;bottom: 0;} </style><div data-paywall="true" data-grx-impression="Subscription Flow ET Articleshow Blocker#Scroll Blocker Impression#Blocker layer Viewed" class="articleBlockerWrap"><div class="articleBlocker"><h4>Uh-oh!
