Every South Africa Player Sold at the IPL 2025 Auction: Quinton De Kock to Kagiso Rabada

South Africa players were in high demand in the auction, with several being picked up by different teams.

The IPL 2025 auction was full of excitement and fierce competition among teams. Franchises vied for top talent, leading to record-breaking bids and intense drama throughout the event.

Teams spent significant amounts of money to strengthen their squads, focusing on acquiring players who could fill crucial roles and enhance their performance in the upcoming seasons.

South African players were in high demand, with many being signed by different franchises. Let’s explore the South African players who were sold at the IPL 2025 Auction.

Quinton De Kock (Kolkata Knight Riders -INR 3.6 crore )

Quinton de Kock has been bought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for INR 3.60 crore in the IPL 2025 auction. The bidding war involved SRH, MI, and KKR, with KKR securing the winning bid.

De Kock, who was released by LSG before the auction, is known for his explosive starts at the top of the order and his excellent wicketkeeping skills. This makes him a valuable acquisition for KKR at a relatively affordable price.

Anrich Nortje (Kolkata Knight Riders – INR 6.5 crore)

Anrich Nortje has been acquired by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for INR 6.5 crore in the IPL 2025 auction. The bidding war included LSG and KKR, with KKR securing the winning bid.

Nortje, released by Delhi Capitals before the auction, offers pace and potential despite his recent dip in form. With Mitchell Starc moving to DC, Nortje could be a valuable addition to KKR’s bowling attack. His speed and experience make him a strong asset for the team moving forward

David Miller (Lucknow Super Giants – INR 7.5 crore)

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) bought David Miller for INR 7.5 crore in the IPL 2025 auction, with GT, RCB, and DC also involved in the bidding. GT had the option to use the Right to Match (RTM) but chose not to, allowing Miller to move to LSG.

Miller, a powerful middle-order hitter, can strengthen LSG’s batting lineup alongside Nicholas Pooran and Rishabh Pant. His ability to accelerate the innings makes him a valuable addition to their squad.

Aiden Markram (Lucknow Super Giants – INR 2 crore)

Aiden Markram has been bought by Lucknow Super Giants for INR 2 crore at his base price in the IPL 2025 auction. He was released by SRH before the auction.

Markram can be a valuable opener for LSG on his day. With Rishabh Pant likely to captain the team, Markram’s leadership experience can help guide the squad and provide support to Pant.

Kagiso Rabada (Gujarat Titans – INR 10.75 crore)

Gujarat Titans bought Kagiso Rabada for INR 10.75 crore in the IPL 2025 auction. RCB, GT, and MI were all involved in bidding for him. He was released by Punjab Kings before the auction. Punjab had the option to use the RTM but chose not to, allowing Rabada to join GT.

With the addition of Mohammed Siraj, GT now has an excellent bowling duo, capable of complementing each other during the powerplay and death overs.

Marco Jansen (Punjab Kings – INR 7 crore)

Marco Jansen has been acquired by Punjab Kings for INR 7 crore in the IPL 2025 auction after being released by Sunrisers Hyderabad. The bidding saw competition from Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans, but Punjab Kings ultimately secured the South African all-rounder.

Jansen is expected to play a key role for Punjab Kings in IPL 2025. Likely to feature in the playing XI, he brings value as a bowling all-rounder who can deliver crucial overs with the new ball alongside Arshdeep Singh and contribute vital runs in the lower order.
