1xBet launches large tournament Indian League Carnival
1xBet has launched the tournament with a ₹1 crore (US$120.5k) real money prize pool.
Press release.- The new season of the Indian Premier League 2025 is set to be one of the most exciting in cricket history. The player auction broke several historical records, and the bookmaker 1xBet announced the start of the Indian League Carnival sports tournament with a record prize pool of ₹1 crore (US$120.5k) for IPL 2025.
The IPL 2025 season will take place from March 21 to May 25, featuring 74 matches. The current champion, Kolkata Knight Riders, will defend their title against the top teams in India.
The player auction took place from November 24 to 25, 2024. For the first time in Indian cricket history, it was held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, highlighting the growing global popularity and the IPL expansion beyond India.
In two days of bidding, several big transfers were made that broke all records:
- Shreyas Iyer joined Punjab Kings for a record ₹26.75 crore (US$321.6k) and was named the team captain.
- Rishabh Pant became the most expensive player in IPL history after being bought by Lucknow Super Giants for ₹27.00 crore (US$325.9k).
- Venkatesh Iyer returned to Kolkata Knight Riders for ₹23.75 crore (US$285.4k), completing the top 3 most expensive players of the season.
Another record at the IPL 2025 auction is related to a player’s age. Rajasthan Royals signed the youngest athlete in the league’s history – 13-year-old batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi for ₹1.10 crore (US$13.3k). If he has a successful debut, his value will surely rise significantly. This move has opened new opportunities for young talent and added intrigue to the upcoming season.
It is also noteworthy that Heinrich Klaasen, brand ambassador for 1xBet, became the most expensive retained player, breaking Virat Kohli’s record. Before the IPL 2025 started, Sunrisers Hyderabad decided to rely on a new star, paying a record ₹23 crore (US$277.1k) for Heinrich Klaasen to stay.
Cricket fans around the world are clearly in for one of the brightest tournaments in history. Thanks to record contracts, teams have strengthened their squads with top national and international players, making IPL 2025 even more popular. The participation of young talents in professional matches guarantees unpredictable and intense competition throughout the tournament, while also opening new prospects for the future of cricket.
