Along with MS Dhoni, these 10 players, we may not see in IPL 2026 due to...
The 18th season of the IPL has ended and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) defeated Punjab Kings to win the title for the first time. Both young and experienced players performed brilliantly in this tournament. However, this season was disappointing for some veterans, putting their IPL career in danger and this tournament could prove to be the last for them. Teams will now slowly start preparing for IPL 2026. This year was quite embarrassing for five-time champions Chennai Super Kings, as the team finished 10th for the first time and they have also started preparations for the upcoming season. Due to factors such as age, performance and fitness, many big stars playing in IPL 2025 may retire or be released by their current teams. Here we are telling you about 10 such players whose IPL career is almost over. There has been speculation about the retirement of Chennai Superkings legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni for the last several years. After the conclusion of IPL 2025, Dhoni has indicated that he will consider his future in the world's biggest T20 league. There is every possibility that he will retire before or at the end of IPL 2026. If this happens, it will be the end of an era for the IPL. Ravichandran Ashwin's return to Chennai Superkings in IPL 2025 did not go as expected. He announced his retirement from international cricket in 2024. Chennai Superkings bought him for Rs 9.75 crore in the mega auction, but he could not do justice to his price tag. Ashwin will be 39 years old by the next season. There is a possibility that the franchise may release him before the next season. In such a situation, he may decide to retire from IPL. England star all-rounder Moeen Ali has announced his retirement from international cricket. He was bought by KKR for Rs 2 crore. He played only five matches this season, in which he scored five runs and took six wickets. KKR may release him before the next season and it will be very difficult for him to find a new team. Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has retired from ODI cricket citing fitness concerns. His recent performance with Punjab Kings in the IPL has been poor. He had to withdraw midway through the tournament due to a previous injury. Many leading Indian cricket analysts have criticized Punjab Kings for buying Maxwell. Although Maxwell has a strong international record, his IPL performance has lacked consistency, in which he has failed many times. If he is released by Punjab Kings, any other team may hesitate to acquire him. Faf du Plessis captained the team after Axar Patel was injured and could not perform as expected during the season. At the age of 40, he scored 202 runs in 9 matches at a strike rate of 123. It is possible that Du Plessis may end his league cricket career. Ishant Sharma was bought by Gujarat Titans for ₹ 75 lakh. Even at the age of 36, he bowls at a good pace, but this season he played only 7 matches and took 4 wickets. His economy rate was also high, due to which keeping him in the team proved to be an expensive bowler. In such a situation, Gujarat Titans may consider releasing him before the next season. Experienced leg-spinner Karn Sharma once again got a chance to play for Mumbai Indians. The team fielded him in 6 matches and he was able to take only 7 wickets. Karn Sharma will be 38 years old by the next season. In such a situation, the franchise can release him and bet on a young spinner. Karn has played 90 matches in the IPL and taken 83 wickets. England fast bowler Richard Gleeson got a chance to play for Mumbai Indians after Chennai Super Kings. Gleeson, who took 1 wicket in 2 matches in 2024, could play only one match this time. No one bought him in the auction and Mumbai included him in their team in place of Corbin Bosch. He was able to take only one wicket in a match. He will be 38 years old by the next season. In such a situation, it is difficult for him to play in the IPL again. Experienced all-rounder Vijay Shankar was bought by Chennai Super Kings with great expectations. The team had spent Rs 1.20 crore for him in the auction. Shankar could not do anything special in the season. He scored 118 runs in 6 matches at an average of 39.33, but his strike rate was 129.67. Due to not scoring runs fast, the team removed him from the playing-11. Now it is difficult for him to play in the upcoming season of IPL. Kolkata Knight Riders bought their experienced player Manish Pandey emotionally at his base price of Rs 75 lakh. He got a chance to play in only three matches and he could score only 92 runs. Manish will be 36 years old in the next season. Kolkata team can release him and then it will be a surprise if someone buys him.
