IPL 2025 will end on June 3 and all four teams are confirmed for the playoffs, so the eliminated teams have time to rethink their plan for the next season.
Varun Aaron picked the players who went for the big bucks in the mega auction but couldn’t meet the expectations of the franchise.
Ravichandran Ashwin was brought back to the Chepauk at a whopping INR 9.75 crore by Chennai. But Ashwin’s return couldn’t help CSK avoid a wooden spoon finish.
Aaron also picked the Kiwi duo, Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway, who were retained by the franchise ahead of the mega auction.
Ravi Bishnoi also had a forgettable season as he just scalped eight wickets in 11 matches with an economy rate of above 10. Bishnoi was retained by the Lucknow Super Giants.
The two most expensive players in IPL 2025
Pant scored only 151 runs at a scrappy average of 13.72 and barely maintained the strike-rate of 100 in this season. Pant’s best inning came against Chennai when he scored 63 runs in 49 balls, which was in the losing cause as well.
Venkatesh couldn’t define the price tag and scored only 142 runs at an average of 20.28 which became one of the biggest flops of this season.
Varon Aaron’s retainers list
The pacer also backed KKR’s skipper, Ajinkya Rahane, to be retained ahead of IPL 2026. Rahane scored 390 runs in 13 matches so far in the tournament, and he is the highest run-scorer for his franchise.
