Take a look at 5 players who might get unsold in the upcoming IPL 2025 Mega Auction:

Steven Smith

Australia’s run machine and most reliable batter, Steven Smith is one of the best batters in modern-day cricket. With his unorthodox batting style, it makes bowlers frustrated to get him out, especially in Tests. But when it comes to T20 cricket, the Aussie lacks the dynamics despite having decent numbers. Due to his absence from IPL for a few seasons, the IPL franchise might not show interest in him. Smith last played for Delhi Capitals (DC).

Kane Williamson

Another modern-day great batter, Kane Williamson is one of the elite batters in all forms of the game. Williamson played some astonishing innings to win a game for any side that he has played for. Despite having good numbers in T20s, Williamson is often prone to injuries which makes it tough for any franchise to acquire him. The last time he played for Gujarat Titans was when he was injured during the opening game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in 2023.

Jason Holder

The former West Indian skipper and all-rounder, Jason Holder has been one of the assets for any franchise he plays for. With his pace and bounce, it makes it tough for any batter to play against him. Due to his absence in IPL for a few seasons and because of his poor bowling, Holder might get unsold in the upcoming mega auction.

When it comes to T20 cricket, Rahane has been out of touch in recent times. Rahane might face a tough time in the upcoming mega auction.
