Sun Nov 24 17:20:00 UTC 2024: ## IPL 2025 Auction Day 2: Accelerated Auction to Speed Up Process
**Jeddah, [Date]:** The second day of the IPL 2025 mega auction is underway. Day one saw 72 out of 84 players offered finding buyers. To expedite the process of auctioning the remaining 493 players from the initial shortlist of 577, an “accelerated auction” will be implemented.
This accelerated process will begin after a certain number of players (116) have been offered. Teams will then submit a shortlist of their preferred players from the remaining pool. The auction will then proceed based on these team-submitted lists, ensuring quicker completion and avoiding the need to individually offer every remaining player.
High-profile players such as Faf du Plessis, Ajinkya Rahane, Marco Jansen, Prithvi Shaw, Kane Williamson, Washington Sundar, and Shardul Thakur are among those awaiting their turn on day two. The accelerated auction will be conducted in two stages: the first focusing on players from 117 to 577, followed by a second stage for any unsold or unpresented players from the first stage. The auction is expected to conclude today.
