The countdown for the 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) has begun. The first match of the season will be played in Kolkata after two weeks.

It is being speculated that due to their flop performance, these players will prove to be the villains of their franchise’s defeat. Today in this article, we are going to tell you about those 3 old players of IPL 2025, by buying whom the franchise has shot itself in the foot. So let’s take a look at these players….
These 3 old players will sink their respective franchises in IPL 2025
Ravichandran Ashwin
Indian spin all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin retired from international cricket last year. He announced his retirement during the Australia tour for the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. However, it is now being said that he can ruin his franchise in IPL 2025. His form has seen a lot of decline in recent times. Due to this, he had to lose his place in Team India before retiring. Therefore, now it is being speculated that he can disappoint everyone with his flop performance in the upcoming IPL season as well. It is known that in the mega auction, Chennai Super Kings included Ravichandran Ashwin in their camp for Rs 9.75 crore.
Mohit Sharma
36-year-old fast bowler Mohit Sharma‘s international cricket career has not been very long. He has played only 34 matches for India, in which he managed to prove his mettle by bowling lethally. But due to fitness, he could not cement his place. At the same time, now in IPL 2025 also, Mohit Sharma is becoming a nightmare for his team Delhi Capitals. If we talk about his last IPL season, he took 13 wickets in 12 matches. Whereas before this, in IPL 2023, he was successful in taking 27 wickets. This decline in his performance has disappointed the audience a lot.
Ishant Sharma
Right-arm fast bowler Ishant Sharma is one of the fierce players of Team India. At the domestic and international level, he created fear in the minds of batsmen by showing his bowling prowess. But now his performance is also getting affected due to increasing age. In the last season of IPL, he could take only ten wickets in nine matches for Delhi Capitals. He got the same number of wickets in IPL 2023 as well. Due to this performance, Delhi Capitals released him and in the IPL 2025 mega auction, Gujarat Titans included him in their camp by spending 75 lakhs.
