The IPL 2025 mega auction saw another high-profile player, Jos Buttler, go under the hammer with an intense bidding war. Starting with a base price of ₹2 crore, Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Gujarat Titans began the initial bidding for the explosive English wicketkeeper-batter.

As the bids escalated, Punjab Kings joined the contest, briefly challenging Gujarat before withdrawing. Subsequently, Lucknow Super Giants entered the fray, engaging in a fierce battle with Gujarat Titans. The bidding war culminated at ₹15.75 crore, with Gujarat Titans ultimately securing the services of Buttler.

Known for his dynamic batting and game-changing performances, Buttler’s addition significantly strengthens Gujarat’s lineup, providing a potent combination of experience and firepower for IPL 2025.
