From Ravichandran Ashwin to Andre Russell, several big names might not be retained after IPL 2025, with inconsistent performances and declining form putting their futures in doubt.
The Mumbai Indians invested heavily, retaining Rohit Sharma for 16.3 crore rupees. However, his performance in the first half of the 2025 season has been underwhelming, with scores consistently below 50 runs. The team's future plans regarding Sharma remain uncertain, contingent on a potential improvement in his performance.
After a ten-year absence, Ravichandran Ashwin's return to Chennai Super Kings has been disappointing. His performance has been subpar, leading to his omission from the team after seven matches.
Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) batting effectiveness has suffered due to Andre Russell's recent inconsistent performance in the lower middle order. The team's future plans regarding Russell, a key player known for his match-winning abilities, remain uncertain.
Glenn Maxwell's performance has contrasted sharply between his time with RCB and his return to PBKS. He has experienced a decline in batting form since joining PBKS, though his bowling contributions remain consistent.
Venkatesh Iyer's IPL 2025 performance has been underwhelming since his acquisition for ₹23.75 crore. Kolkata Knight Riders may consider releasing him and repurchasing him at a lower cost if his performance doesn't significantly improve.
