Players who can go unsold in IPL 2025 mega auction

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction is set to be held over two days, on November 24-25, in Jeddah.

The cricketing world is abuzz as the Indian Premier League (IPL) gears up for a mega auction, set to held on November 24-25 in Saudi Arabia. The BCCI aims to make it a grand event, with fans eagerly awaiting how franchises will shape their squads. The October 31 retention announcements brought a mix of surprises and expected moves. With the auction fast approaching, teams are finalizing strategies to bolster their lineups for IPL 2025. However, there’s a possibility that some high-profile international players might go unsold.

Players who can go unsold in IPL 2025 mega auction

Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson, a seasoned New Zealand batter, may go unsold in the IPL auction due to recurring injuries and limited game time. Despite scoring 2,128 runs in 79 IPL matches, his recent form and fitness concerns, coupled with stepping down as New Zealand’s white-ball captain, could deter franchises from bidding.

Ajinkya Rahane

Ajinkya Rahane, once a key player for CSK, might go unsold in the IPL mega-auction. Despite scoring 326 runs at a strike rate of 172.49 in IPL 2023, his form dipped in 2024, managing only 242 runs at an average of 20.17. With limited chances to impress in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, his T20 value could be questioned.

Steve Smith

Steve Smith last played in the IPL in 2021. Despite being an international star, he has struggled to make a significant impact in the league. Although Smith has registered for the IPL 2025, there is a possibility that he might go unsold in the upcoming season.
