Many players, unfortunately, did not get a match in IPL 2025. A few might even be released. Here, we take a look at a strong benched XI of IPL 2025.
Note: We have considered players who did not play a single game in IPL 2025.
Openers: Luvnith Sisodia and Vishnu Vinod (WK)
When the other KKR keepers were failing, fans expected Sisodia to play. However, it did not happen. Vishnu Vinod had to warm the bench in yet another season.
Middle-Order of this benched XI of IPL 2025: Swastik Chikara, Mahipal Lomror and Bevon Jacobs
After the season he had in the UP T20 League, many felt RCB would give a game to Swastik. However, it did not happen. It is shocking that Mahipal did not get a game while MI did not need Jacobs.
All-Rounders: Aaron Hardie, Swapnil Singh, Shreyas Gopal
Hardie did not play for Punjab Kings but might be retained. Krunal was there and hence, there was no chance of Swapnil. Shreyas had to warm the bench at CSK.
Bowlers in this benched XI of IPL 2025: Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Kuldeep Sen and Mayank Markhande
Some fine pacers did not get a match in IPL 2025. Mayank Markhande, the talented leggie from Punjab, also had to wait for his chances.
