Arshdeep Singh
This time Punjab Kings decided to release fast bowler Arshdeep Singh. However, this was a bit shocking for the fans. Arshdeep played for Punjab for a long time and was considered the most important bowler of the Punjab Kings.
Last season, Arshdeep bowled brilliantly and took 19 wickets, despite this Punjab released him. Punjab Kings have retained only two uncapped players Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh. However, now Punjab Kings can target Arshdeep Singh in the mega auction.
Rishabh Pant
The dashing wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was also released by Delhi Capitals this time. However, there was a discussion going on for a long time that Pant could leave Delhi Capitals. Now Pant can be a part of the mega auction.
If Delhi Capitals does not find another captain for their team, then they can get him back by using the Right to Match (RTM) card during the IPL 2025 auction.
Cameron Green
Royal Challengers Bangalore has also released Australian all-rounder Cameron Green, one of its most expensive players this time. RCB had included Green in its team for a price of Rs 17.5 crore. However, now RCB can include Green in the team again by using the Right to Match (RTM) card in the auction.
However, this decision will depend on the price he gets in the IPL 2025 auction and the team will evaluate on this basis whether to take him forward or not.
