The Complete List Of Unsold Players In The IPL 2025 Mega Auction, From David Warner To Prithvi Shaw

The complete list of cricket players who were not sold at the Indian Premier League's (IPL) major auction in 2025.

After 577 players were selected for the two-day Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the auction concluded Monday. While 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi became the youngest player to be purchased at auction when he was signed by the Rajasthan Royals, Rishabh Pant became the most costly acquisition in T20 league history when he joined the Lucknow Super Giants for INR 27 crore. Not only did the two-day auction turn some cricket players into crorepatis, but some of the top names failed to attract a franchise bid.

hitters: David Warner, Kane Williamson, Prithvi Shaw, and Mayank Agarwal were among the hitters whose names were questioned since they were not sold. At one point in their careers, all four were among the league's best players. Franchises, however, appear to have moved on to other possibilities.

2. Anmolpreet Singh: 30 lakh Indian rupees
3. Yash Dhull: 30 lakh Indian rupees
4. Kane Williamson: 2 crore Indian rupees

18. Leus du Plooy - INR 50 lakh

One of the league's all-time top wicket-takers, Piyush Chawla, was forced to stay unsold when no team bid for his services. Other well-known names that were not sold include Kartik Tyagi, Naveen-ul-Haq, Musftafizur Rahman, and Mujeeb ur Rahman.

All-rounders: Although they continue to be the foundation of the game and provide vital balance, their significance appears to have diminished since the Impact Player rule was implemented. Neither Shardul Thakur nor Daryl Mitchell, who is unquestionably a white-ball cricket star, received a single bid at the auction.

26. Tanush Kotian - INR 30 lakh
27. Khrievitso Kense - INR 30 lakh

Wicketkeepers: Jonny Bairstow's disappointing return from the auction is perhaps the most unexpected among wicket-keepers. Throughout the season, the England wicket-keeper batsman has excelled in the league, particularly for Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, he didn't find any suitors during the auction.

1. Jonny Bairstow - INR 2 crore
2. Upendra Yadav - INR 30 lakh
3. Shai Hope - INR 1.25 crore
4. KS Bharat - INR 75 lakh

7. Harvik Desai - INR 30 lakh
8. Josh Philippe - INR 75 lakh
9. L. R. Chethan - INR 30 lakh
10. Tejasvi Dahiya - INR 30 lakh

If another player is injured or withdraws from the IPL 2025 season, these players still have a chance to be called up by one of the teams.
