IPL 2025 Overseas Players Complete List for Each Team

Rajasthan Royals with the least names in our official Overseas players list for all 10 teams for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. 

Overseas players are the backbone of any IPL team. A team can invest a maximum of 8 Overseas players in their squad with a potential of playing up to 4 Overseas players in the starting 11. The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League, IPL 2025 saw 10 teams retaining a total of 11 Overseas players. The number felt on the lower side, but that was primarily due to finding good value for these players in the Auction.

Overall, 10 teams added 71 Overseas players to their side for IPL 2025. While Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have a complete quota of 8 Overseas players, Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants have the least names at 6. Heinrich Klaasen is the most expensive Overseas player with a salary of 23 Cr. Nevertheless, here’s the complete list of Overseas players for all 10 teams for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
