In the past, as well, we have seen teams not waiting long if a retained player does not show consistency. Here, we take a look at the list of three retained players who could be released if they fail in IPL 2025.
1) Shahrukh Khan
Yes, Shahrukh did well in IPL 2024 for the Gujarat Titans. However, the rope may not be very long for the Tamil Nadu cricketer at GT.
The franchise will want instant results from him. If he fails, the team could look at other options in the IPL 2026 Auctions. Therefore, Shahrukh will be under pressure.
2) Sandeep Sharma could be released if he fails in IPL 2025
Sandeep Sharma is one of the retained players who could be released if they fail in IPL 2025. The Rajasthan Royals do not have a strong Indian pace attack.
The team will have a plan to improve this in the future. Hence, if Sandeep fails, it is not a surprise if RR releases him back into the auctions.
3) Mohsin Khan
LSG has a solid core of Indian fast bowlers. Therefore, they are not completely dependent on Mohsin Khan’s services.
The Uttar Pradesh bowler has to pick wickets in the powerplay to remain on the side. Otherwise, LSG might bring in an extra foreign pacer in the future. Or, they could try to get back Mohsin at a lower fee. Hence, Mohsin is on this list.
