Mallika Sagar has been appointed as the auctioneer for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction, set to take place on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah. This will be Mallika’s second time leading the IPL auction, having previously overseen last year’s mini auction in Dubai. Prior to this, Mallika made history as the first female auctioneer in the Women’s Premier League and Pro Kabaddi League.
Currently working at Pundole’s auction house in Mumbai, Mallika’s career in auctioneering began at Christie’s in 2001, where she became the first female auctioneer of Indian descent. The IPL 2025 auction will feature a final pool of 574 players, with the 10 teams vying to fill over 200 slots. The event is scheduled to kick off in Jeddah at 3pm IST on November 24 and 25.
