ISPL Season 3 Mega Auction Sees Approximately Rs 10 Crore Spent | Full Squads

ISPL Season 3: The Indian Street Premier League (ISPL), India’s first tennis-ball T10 cricket tournament, held an exciting Season 3 Player Auction. Nearly INR 10 crore was spent on 144 players as eight franchises competed fiercely in Mumbai on Tuesday.

Vijay Pawle stole the spotlight, fetching INR 32.50 lakh, the highest price tag in the league’s history, from the defending champions, Majhi Mumbai. The star all-rounder from the West Zone returns to familiar ground, having led Mumbai to the title last season. Ketan Mhatre, also from the West Zone, was kept by Chennai Singams through the Right to Match (RTM) card for INR 26.40 lakh, making him the second-highest pick of the day.

With two new teams, Ahmedabad Lions and Delhi Superheros, joining the league, Season 3 looks set to be the most competitive yet. The tournament will take place from January 9 to February 6, 2026, at Lalbhai Contractor Stadium in Surat.

The event drew some of the biggest names in cricket and entertainment, including ISPL Core Committee members Sachin Tendulkar, Ashish Shelar, Minal Amol Kale, Suraj Samat, and Dipak Chauhan, President – Operations. Team co-owners in attendance included Akshay Kumar (Srinagar Ke Veer), Saif Ali Khan & Aksha Kamboj (Tiigers of Kolkata), Hrithik Roshan and Divy Dangi (Bengaluru Strikers), Niti Agarwal (Majhi Mumbai), Zayd Noman (Falcon Risers Hyderabad), Rajdip Gupta (Chennai Singams), and Ajay Devgn, Jahidhmohmed Vijapura & Izazahmad Khanusiya (Ahmedabad Lions), along with Salman Khan and Arpita Khan Sharma (Delhi Superheros).

Speaking during the auctions, Sachin Tendulkar, Core Committee Member, ISPL , said: “I started playing cricket because I was passionate. So, my advice to all the ISPL players is this: be yourself. Whatever you were yesterday, can you better yourself today? This is one such platform where you can go out, express yourself, and everyone is watching you and enjoying your talent. Climb the mountain so that you can see the world, not so that the world can see you.”

Ashish Shelar, Core Committee Member, ISPL, said: “The ISPL was created to give promising talent a stage to shine, and it’s heartening to see lakhs of young players embracing the opportunity. We have built this platform with a professional, future-focused approach, and its impact is already visible. I am confident that ISPL will continue to grow from strength to strength and unlock even more potential across the country.”

Minal Amol Kale, Core Committee Member, ISPL: “The ISPL auction continues to be a career-defining moment for many talented cricketers. This league provides a much-needed platform for budding cricketers who otherwise may not get national exposure. We hope that every player selected this season makes the best use of this opportunity, works hard and moves one step closer to fulfilling their dreams through ISPL.”

Suraj Samat, Core Committee Member and League Commissioner, ISPL, said: “This edition of the auction was among the most competitive we have seen so far. Franchises came in with clear strategies, and the use of Googly Power, RTM and retention added great depth to the proceedings. The squads are well-balanced, and we are confident that fans will witness a high-quality and entertaining season in Surat.”

ISPL has also announced that the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of Season 3 will receive a Porsche 911, making it one of the most valuable individual awards in Indian sport.
