Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 2025 Full Team Squads Revealed

The Maharaja Trophy T20 2025 Auction wrapped up with all six franchises — Mysore Warriors, Hubli Tigers, Bengaluru Blasters, Shivamogga Lions, Mangaluru Dragons, and Gulbarga Mystics — locking in powerful 18-man squads ahead of the tournament that kicks off on August 11 at the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Topping the charts was batter Devdutt Padikkal, who was snapped up by Hubli Tigers for a whopping Rs 13.20 lakh, making him the most expensive player of the auction. The Tigers didn’t stop there — they also bagged Abhinav Manohar for Rs 12.20 lakh. Meanwhile, Manish Pandey was picked up by Mysore Warriors for the same amount. 

In the bowling department, Shivamogga Lions made a strong move for quick Vidwath Kaverappa, splashing Rs 10.80 lakh, while Bengaluru Blasters shelled out Rs 8.30 lakh for strike bowler Vidyadhar Patil. There was also some curiosity around Samit Dravid, son of India legend Rahul Dravid, who was listed in Category C for junior state players. However, his name was notably absent from the final list of sold players.
