IPL 2025 will include a lot of drama. Teams are becoming more ruthless in executing their activities. In this regard, we might see a few controversial moments before the next auctions. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three players who could be controversially released by their teams before IPL 2025.
1) KL Rahul
KL Rahul did not have a great tournament in IPL 2024 both as a batter and a skipper. After the match against SRH in which LSG lost badly, he and the owner were involved in a heated exchange.
In the past, as well, we have seen Sanjiv Goenka take some bold decisions. It would not be a surprise if he releases KL Rahul before the next auctions. Also, KL might want to go elsewhere and start his IPL career afresh in a new environment.
2) Rashid Khan
Rashid Khan is one of the players who could be controversially released by their teams before IPL 2025. With Shubman Gill becoming the captain, it is a big blow for Rashid’s captaincy aspirations. He might now be the second retention behind Gill.
Rashid enjoys a good relationship with Mumbai Indians because he plays for the same owners in the SA20 League. It would not be a surprise if the MI management has Rashid Khan on their mind. He would solve a lot of issues that are attached to the team right now.
3) Rohit Sharma
Mumbai Indians management is known to make some bold calls. With Rohit Sharma repeatedly failing as a batter, the management might be concerned about the performance of the squad.
Hence, MI could release Rohit. This decision will be met with a lot of anger on social media because of Rohit’s fanbase. Therefore, any move will be controversial because the management did not even handle Rohit’s captaincy saga well.
