For this year's action, Punjab Kings has the four 'Right to Match' options followed by the three RTMs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans, Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad have one RTM each.
Delhi Capitals have two RTMs while Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals have no RTM left to use.

Though Iyer was not part of the 2024 T20 World Cup squad or the current Indian team facing South Africa, his leadership skills and middle-order batting temperament make him an ideal player for franchises to bid their money on. 's In 2024, Iyer led KKR in 14 matches, scoring 351 runs with a strike rate of 146.86.
Jos Buttler, England's wicketkeeper-batsman was the fourth player under the marquee set 1 to be under the hammer in the 2025 IPL action. The captain of the England T20 cricket team was bought by the 2022 champion Gujarat Titans for Rs 15.75 crore.

In the 2024 T20 World Cup, Miller’s finishing strokes helped South Africa win matches and reach the finals. Although the Proteas lost the finals against India, the runs scored by Miller in the closing moments put India in a nail-biting situation.
Yuzvendra Chahal, the right-arm leg spin bowler was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 18 crore in a battle that CSK initiated. The bidding price went higher after LSG and Punjab bid hard to bag the Indian spinner. The base price for Chahal was set at Rs 2 crore.
