IPL 2025:
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has fully geared up for the mega auction of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025). Before that, all the IPL teams have released their retention list. While many Indian and foreign star players have been released before the mega auction. There is every possibility of a mega auction at the end of this year. In which 3 star players are likely to remain unsold. Let’s know who is included in this list?
1. Kane Williamson
New Zealand’s star batsman Kane Williamson may remain unsold in the big auction of IPL 2025. Williamson has captained Sunrisers in the IPL. But, these days he could not be a part of New Zealand in the 3-match Test series played against India due to poor fitness. But, there is news that he can be fit from the 18th season. But, no franchise would want to take a risk by buying this aged player. Let us tell you that last year he played 2 matches for Gujarat Titans and could score only 26 runs.
2. Keshav Maharaj
South African spinner Keshav Maharaj made his IPL debut for Rajasthan Royals on the basis of his brilliant performance in the ODI World Cup last year. During this period, Keshav Maharaj got a chance to play only 2 matches. In which he was able to take only 2 wickets, so after this poor performance, he may be dropped from IPL 2025. If the report is to be believed, the franchise can ignore the foreign player Keshav Maharaj and take a big bet on the local player who is fully suited to play in Indian conditions.
3. Ajinkya Rahane
The third and last name in this list is of former Indian team captain Ajinkya Rahane. Chennai Super Kings has released 36-year-old Rahane before IPL 2025. Last year, Rahane played 11 matches under the captaincy of Rituraj Gaikwad. In which he scored 242 runs while batting at a poor average of 22 and played the highest innings of 45 runs during this period. In such a situation, the franchises in IPL would like to avoid buying this aged player.
