3 unsold players who would have created a storm in IPL 2025 if they would have been selected
These days the excitement of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is at its peak in India. So far 14 matches have been played in IPL 2025. In the points table of the current season, the teams of Punjab Kings (4 points), Delhi Capitals (4 points), Royal Challengers Bangalore (4 points) and Gujarat Titans (4 points) are in the top-4. Amidst the bang of runs and wickets in IPL, the lack of 3 players is being felt. If these 3 players had got a chance, then IPL 2025 would have been more spectacular:
3. Prithvi Shaw
Prithvi Shaw is an explosive and dangerous batter when he's in form and if he would have been the part of IPL 2025 then the excitement of the current season would have been even greater. No team even gave any interest to Prithvi Shaw in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Prithvi Shaw was part of the Delhi Capitals franchise from 2018 to IPL season 2024. Before the IPL mega auction 2025, the Delhi-based team released him and didn't retain his services.
The 25-year-old has played cricket in all three formats for India, but now he has lost his place in all three formats. The right-handed batter has scored 1892 runs in 79 IPL matches with the assistance of 14 half-centuries in the cash-rich T20 League.
In IPL 2025, the Mumbai Indians (MI) team is struggling with the lack of an explosive batsman at the top of the order. Rohit Sharma is not in form and Ryan Rickelton has also not been consistent. In such a situation, Prithvi Shaw could have filled the lack of a stormy opener in the Mumbai Indians team. He plays for Mumbai in domestic cricket and has scored a lot of runs at the Wankhede stadium.
2.Mustafizur Rahman
Bangladesh's left-arm fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman was not even offered any bid in the IPL 2025 mega auction. He performed well for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2024 last year, dismissing 14 batters in 9 matches for the five-time winners in IPL 2024. Rahman has taken 61 wickets in overall 57 IPL matches. Despite an excellent record in IPL, this bowler was not able to find a team in the auction.
CSK will regret releasing Mustafizur Rahman. If the 29-year-old would have been a part of the squad of the five-time winners in IPL 2025, the story would have been different. CSK is at number seven in the points table of IPL 2025. In the current season, the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led team has lost 2 out of 3 matches and has got only one win. They have only 2 points to their name.
1. Kane Williamson
In IPL 2025, 34-year-old Kane Williamson is being missed on the cricket field. However, he is associated with the cash-rich t20 league as a commentator. Williamson is an expert middle order batsman, who is adept at turning the tide of the match. He plays spin bowlers and fast bowlers very well.
In IPL 2025, the Chennai Super Kings team is struggling with the lack of a world class batsman in the middle order. If Kane Williamson was added to the CSK squad in the current edition of the tournament, it could have strengthened ther top order. The former SRH skipper has scored 2128 runs in 79 IPL matches with the help of 18 half-centuries.
