3 IPL Players Who May Be Cut Before IPL 2025
2 minutes With the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League now over, three star players might be in trouble before the next season, as their franchises may need to retain them.
After running for more than two months, the 2024 Indian Premier League season has now end. The Kolkata Knight Riders clinched the title for the third time by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets in the final, causing the top cricket betting sites in India a huge headache as the Sunrisers were tipped to win. This season, batsmen dominated with explosive performances. However, today we will discuss three players who might be released by their IPL teams before next year's mega auction. Let's find out who they are.
Glenn Maxwell
The 2024 IPL season was very disappointing for Australian and RCB star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell. He struggled both with the bat and ball, scoring only 52 runs in 10 matches and taking 6 wickets. Retained by Bangalore for ₹11 Crore last season, Maxwell might be released due to his poor performance before the IPL 2025 mega auction.
Ravichandran Ashwin
At 38, Ravichandran Ashwin is also on the list of players who might not be retained by their franchise next year. Ashwin took only 9 wickets in 15 matches this season, a lackluster performance. Considering his age, the franchise might opt for a younger spinner in the mega auction and release Ashwin. He was retained by Rajasthan Royals for ₹5 Crore before IPL 2024.
David Warner
Australian opener David Warner is in the final phase of his career, and IPL 2024 was not particularly special for him. He scored 168 runs in 8 matches and missed some games due to injury. Meanwhile, Delhi has found his replacement in Jack Fraser McGurk, a fellow Australian. There is a strong possibility that Delhi will retain McGurk instead of Warner before the mega auction.
