Josh Hazlewood made headlines on Day 1 of the 2025 IPL mega-auction, more than doubling his previous IPL auction price. The Aussie pace spearhead was picked up by Royal Challengers Bengaluru for a whopping Rs 12.5 crore, making him the most expensive Australian signing of the day.
Hazlewood had skipped the previous year’s tournament for the birth of his first child, but his impressive track record and skills clearly made him a hot commodity this time around. His new price tag is a significant jump from his previous one, and it will be exciting to see how he performs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the upcoming season.
Mitchell Starc (Delhi Capitals), Jake FRASER-McGurk (Delhi Capitals), Marcus Stoinis (Punjab Kings), Mitch Marsh (Lucknow Super Giants), Adam Zampa (Sunrisers Hyderabad) and Glenn Maxwell (Punjab Kings) were the other Australian signings.
