The IPL 2025 auction featured several standout players from England securing key positions across franchises. With their proven skills, including dynamic batting, precision bowling, and all-round capabilities, these players are set to strengthen their respective teams and play crucial roles in the upcoming season.
Jos Buttler
Jos Buttler, released by Rajasthan Royals ahead of the IPL 2025 auction, was snapped up by Gujarat Titans for INR 15.75 crore, becoming the auction’s highest-paid overseas player. A prolific top-order batter, Buttler brings an impressive IPL record of 3,582 runs in 107 matches, including seven centuries and 19 fifties.
His experience and consistency are expected to bolster Gujarat Titans’ batting lineup. Buttler will join forces with Shubman Gill to form a dynamic opening partnership for the 2025 season.
Jofra Archer
Jofra Archer returns to Rajasthan Royals after being signed for INR 12.50 crore in the IPL 2025 auction. Known for his express pace, pinpoint accuracy, and deadly yorkers, Archer is a game-changer in both powerplay and death overs.
Archer previously represented Rajasthan Royals from 2018 to 2021, claiming 48 wickets in 40 matches. After a stint with Mumbai Indians, where injuries limited his appearances, he is set to rejoin RR as a key bowler for the upcoming season.
Phil Salt
Phil Salt was acquired by RCB for INR 11.75 crore in the IPL 2025 auction after being released by KKR. A key contributor to KKR’s 2024 title win with 435 runs in 12 matches, Salt’s consistency and aggression make him a vital addition for RCB.
Set to open alongside Virat Kohli and take on wicketkeeping duties, Salt’s attacking approach suits the Chinnaswamy pitch with its small boundaries. His quick starts in the powerplay are expected to give RCB strong momentum in IPL 2025.
Liam Livingstone
Liam Livingstone was signed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru for INR 8.75 crore in the IPL 2025 auction after being released by PBKS. As RCB’s marquee player, he brings a dynamic all-round package with powerful middle-order batting and versatile spin options.
Livingstone’s big-hitting ability is tailor-made for the Chinnaswamy Stadium’s small boundaries, while his recent international form boosts expectations. Despite competition from Jacob Bethell, Livingstone is likely to be a regular in the XI, offering key contributions with both bat and ball.
Harry Brook
Harry Brook was signed by Delhi Capitals for INR 6.25 crore in the IPL 2025 auction, marking his return to the franchise. Known for his adaptability against pace and spin, Brook showcases immense potential as a world-class batter.
Initially acquired by Sunrisers Hyderabad for INR 13.25 crore in 2023, Brook underperformed and was later released. Delhi picked him up for INR 4 crore in 2024, but he missed the season due to personal reasons.
With his versatility and ability to excel on Delhi’s flat pitches and short boundaries, Brook is poised to become a key long-term asset for the Capitals.
Will Jacks
Mumbai Indians secured Will Jacks for INR 5.25 crore in the IPL 2025 auction after his release by Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Jacks impressed for RCB last season, scoring 230 runs in 8 matches and playing a key role in their playoff qualification.
Known for his power-hitting and versatility, Jacks brings flexibility to MI’s batting lineup, capable of opening with Rohit Sharma or bolstering the middle order. Additionally, his part-time bowling provides a valuable all-round option, making him a crucial asset for MI in IPL 2025.
Sam Curran
England all-rounder Sam Curran has rejoined Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for INR 2.4 crore in the IPL 2025 auction, marking his return to the franchise where his IPL journey began in 2020 and 2021.
Curran, once the IPL’s most expensive player with an INR 18 crore move to PBKS, brings his expertise in death bowling and new-ball swing, making him a crucial asset for CSK. Additionally, his growth as a pinch hitter adds flexibility to the team’s batting lineup.
