The IPL 2025 mega auction is to be held on 24-25 november in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Before the auction, all 10 teams have retained a total of 46 players and more than 1,500 players have registered for the auction, increasing the competition a lot. Out of these, only 204 players will be able to be sold in the auction. This means that the number of players who remain unsold will be much higher than the players who will be sold. So let's know about those big players, who got crores of rupees salary for playing last season, but they can go unsold this time.
1. Alzari Joseph
West Indies fast bowler Alzari Joseph is wreaking havoc with his speed in international cricket. But only 21 wickets in 22 matches of IPL and an economy rate of 9.55 is like a warning bell for him in the mega auction. Last season, he could play only 3 matches for RCB, in which he took only one wicket. Due to lack of consistency in performance and frequent injuries, hardly any franchise would want to invest their money in him in the IPL 2025 mega auction. He got Rs 11.50 crore to play in the IPL in 2024.
2. Spencer Johnson
Australia's Spencer Johnson came into the limelight for his speed. He made his IPL debut in 2024 playing for gujarat Titans, where he could take only 4 wickets in five matches. This year Johnson has been able to play only 5 t20 matches for Australia, in which he could take only 6 wickets. Amidst the continuous failure, he may also have to lose the IPL contract this time. He got Rs 10 crore to play last season.
3. Riley Russo
South Africa's Riley Russo, who has scored more than 9 thousand runs in his t20 career. He played for RCB in 2014-2015, but while playing for punjab Kings, Russo could not prove to be a trump card in IPL 2024. He scored 211 runs in 8 matches for punjab last season. He got Rs 8 crore for playing last season, but looking at his recent performance, it seems very unlikely that any team will bet on Russo this time.
