Why remained unsold?
In this time’s IPL auction, there was discussion about many players that they would not find a buyer due to their age, fitness or decline in form. At the same time, some players were ignored by the franchises on the basis of their past performance. There were also many players whose prices were very high, and no franchise took the risk of including them in their squad considering their demand.
The mega auction of IPL 2025 has brought a new chapter for the players, where some new stars are ready to shine, while many old veteran players did not get success this time. Fans will now see whether these unsold players make a comeback in the next IPL or not.
