IPL Auction Shocker: Prithvi Shaw To Shardul Thakur: 7 Star Players That Went Unsold In IPL 2025

The "Lord" of IPL cricket and a fan favorite, Shardul Thakur was shockingly left without a team. His high base pricemight have deterred franchises.

The dynamic Indian opener, known for his explosive starts, found no takers despite his potential to turn games around. Shaw’s inconsistent form and fitness issues in recent times may have influenced franchises’ decisions.

The versatile West Indian all-rounder, who made an impact in IPL 2023, didn’t manage to attract interest this time. Franchises may have been wary of his recent performances.

The towering New Zealand pacer, once a highly sought-after player, went unsold as teams seemed to prefer other options for their pace attack.

The English wicketkeeper-batter, known for his aggressive batting at the top, couldn’t find a spot in any team. Injury concerns and patchy form might have played a role.

The West Indian batter, celebrated for his T20 exploits, surprisingly failed to attract any bids. Teams seemed to prioritize younger or more consistent international players.

A legendary IPL performer and former champion captain, Warner going unsold was the most stunning outcome. While his age and recent dip in form might have been factors, his absence will leave a void in the tournament.
