The first day of the auction was dominated by Indian players, with significant amounts being spent on them. Both Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer were sold for record-breaking amounts. Shreyas Iyer was initially bought by Punjab Kings for ₹26.75 crore, becoming the most expensive player in IPL history at that point. However, shortly after, Rishabh Pant was acquired by Lucknow Super Giants for ₹27 crore, surpassing Shreyas’ record. Pant’s bid also broke the previous record held by Mitchell Starc, who had been the highest-paid player in the prior auction.

Apart from Pant and Shreyas, Venkatesh Iyer also attracted a substantial bid, being purchased by Kolkata Knight Riders for ₹23.75 crore. Additionally, Indian players like Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, and KL Rahul saw high bids. Arshdeep and Chahal were both bought by Punjab Kings for ₹18 crore each, while Rahul was acquired by Delhi for ₹14 crore.

On the other hand, notable players like Devdutt Padikkal, Jonny Bairstow, and David Warner went unsold on the first day of the auction.
