4 Players Punjab Kings Might Release Despite Reaching IPL 2025 Final: Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis And...
photoDetails english 2913070 The Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) had a remarkable IPL 2025 season as they reached the final after a decade. After finishing top of the IPL 2025 points table with 19 points, PBKS lost to RCB in Qualifier 1 and then beat Mumbai Indians (MI) in Qualifier 2 to set up the final against RCB. Punjab Kings lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by six runs in the IPL 2025 final in Ahmedabad on June 3, Tuesday, failing short of the title once again. During their memorable season, some of the PBKS players underperformed and they may not fit the team's long-term strategy. Based on their ordinary performance, PBKS might consider releasing a few players ahead of the IPL 2026 auction and address a few shortcomings. Here's list of players whom PBKS might release after IPL 2025 season: Updated:Jun 08, 2025, 08:41 PM IST 1. Glenn Maxwell 1 / 7 Glenn Maxwell was signed by Punjab Kings (PBKS) for Rs. 4.2 crore during the IPL mega auction. PBKS had high expectations from him but he had a disappointing season. The 36-year-old Maxwell scored only 48 runs and picked 4 wickets in seven matches of the IPL 2025 before getting ruled out of the tournament due to a broken finger. It's not for the first that Maxwell has disappointed an IPL team with his performance. He has had only a few good seasons in the IPL so far. Given his disappointing performance, PBKS might consider releasing Maxwell to free up funds and buy a more impactful performer. Glenn Maxwell's IPL Record 2 / 7 Glenn Maxwell, who has played for multiple franchises, has scored 2819 runs in 141 IPL matches with an average of 23.88 and strike rate of 155.14 so far. He has picked 41 wickets so far. 2. Marcus Stoinis 3 / 7 Australia all-rounder Marcus Stoinis was sold to Punjab Kings for Rs 11 crore during the mega auction. However, he couldn't perform upto the expectations of the team management and PBKS fans, scoring just 160 runs in 13 matches and took only one wicket. Given his hefty price and below par performance, Punjab Kings might consider releasing Stoinis and buy a more effective all-rounder in the auction. Marcus Stoinis' IPL Record 4 / 7 Marcus Stoinis, who is known for his ability to go big in the death overs, has scored 2026 runs in 109 IPL matches with an average of 28.13 and strike rate of 144.71 so far. He has picked 44 wickets as well. 3. Lockie Ferguson 5 / 7 Lockie Ferguson, the New Zealand pacer was bought by Punjab Kings (PBKS) for Rs. 2 crore at the IPL 2025 Mega Auction. He performed decently for Punjab Kings with five wickets in four games, before getting ruled out of the IPL 2025 due to a hamstring injury. More than his performance, Punjab Kings might consider releasing Ferguson due to recurring fitness issues. He has had injury issues in the past as well. So PBKS may look for a more dependable overseas pacer in the next auction. Lockie Ferguson's IPL Record 6 / 7 Lockie Ferguson, who is known for his raw pace, has picked 51 wickets in 49 IPL matches with an average of 30.00 and economy rate of 8.97 so far. 4. Aaron Hardie 7 / 7 Aaron Hardie, the Australian allrounder, was acquired by Punjab Kings (PBKS) for INR 1.25 Crore at the IPL 2025 Mega Auction. However, he didn't play a single game during IPL 2025. With several overseas all-rounders already in the squad, PBKS might consider releasing Hardie before the next auction in order to free up funds and an overseas slot.

MS Dhoni's CSK might release these star players after IPL 2025
In this collection of pictures we shall take a look at star players who might be released by MS Dhoni's CSK after IPL 2025. Let's dive in. Veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was bought for a hefty sum of Rs 9.75 Cr by the Chennai Super Kings during the IPL 2025 Mega Auction. Ashwin was CSK's second-most expensive buy at the IPL 2025 mega auction but he has failed to deliver as per the expectations. The 37-year-old has played eight matches for CSK in IPL 2025 so far and picked only five wickets. He has also been left out of the CSK playing 11 on a few occasions. Based on his age and form, it seems like CSK is going to release Ashwin after the IPL 2025 season. Ravichandran Ashwin, regarded as one of India's finest off-break bowlers, has taken 185 dismissals and accumulated 820 runs across 220 appearances in his IPL journey to date. Rahul Tripathi was acquired by Chennai Super Kings for Rs 3.40 crore during the IPL 2025 auction. Despite being tested in various batting roles, he struggled to make an impact. In five outings this season, he managed only 55 runs, averaging 11.00 with a strike rate of 96.49. Due to his underwhelming form, he was eventually excluded from the playing XI. Considering his lackluster showing, CSK might consider letting him go post-IPL 2025 in search of more consistent batting options for the upcoming edition. Rahul Tripathi, recognized for his unconventional shot-making, has amassed 2,291 runs across 100 IPL games, maintaining an average of 26.33 and a scoring rate of 137.85 throughout his tournament career. During the IPL 2025 mega auction, Chennai Super Kings signed top-order batter Devon Conway for Rs 6.25 crore. Despite the hefty price tag, CSK opted to start the season with Rachin Ravindra instead. When Conway eventually got opportunities, he struggled to make a mark, managing only 94 runs in four appearances so far. Considering his below-par output and the significant investment, the franchise may choose to part ways with him after the season to focus on emerging talent. Devon Conway, the New Zealand top-order batsman and an important contributor to CSK's championship run in 2023, has accumulated 1,018 runs in 27 IPL appearances, maintaining a batting average of 44.26 and a strike rate of 139.45 in his league career to date. CSK acquired Deepak Hooda for Rs 1.7 crore at the IPL 2025 auction, but his performance this season has been underwhelming. Despite being slotted into multiple roles in the batting order, he couldn't make a significant contribution, managing only 31 runs in six games so far. Given his lack of impact, the franchise may look to move on from Hooda after the season and target more influential batting options ahead of the next edition. Since making his IPL debut in 2015, Deepak Hooda has featured in more than 100 games. Over the course of 124 matches, he has compiled 1,496 runs, holding a batting average of 17.60 and a strike rate of 127.65 in his IPL journey to date.

photoDetails english Updated:May 19, 2025, 06:19 PM IST 1. Ravichandran Ashwin 1 / 8 Veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was bought for a hefty sum of Rs 9.75 Cr by the Chennai Super Kings during the IPL 2025 Mega Auction. Ashwin was CSK's second-most expensive buy at the IPL 2025 mega auction but he has failed to deliver as per the expectations. The 37-year-old has played eight matches for CSK in IPL 2025 so far and picked only five wickets. He has also been left out of the CSK playing 11 on a few occasions. Based on his age and form, it seems like CSK is going to release Ashwin after the IPL 2025 season. Ravichandran Ashwin's IPL Record 2 / 8 Ravichandran Ashwin, who is one of India's greatest off-spinners, has picked 185 wickets and scored 820 runs in 220 matches of his IPL career so far. 2. Rahul Tripathi 3 / 8 Rahul Tripathi was picked up by CSK for Rs 3.40 crore at the IPL 2025 auction. He was tried at multiple positions but he failed to deliver with the bat. In five matches of IPL 2025, Tripathi scored just 55 runs with an ordinary average of 11.00 and strike rate of 96.49 and was eventually dropped from CSK's playing XI. Given his ordinary performance, CSK may opt to release him after IPL 2025 to explore more reliable batters for the next season. Rahul Tripathi's IPL Record 4 / 8 Rahul Tripathi, who is known for his innovative strokeplay, has scored 2291 runs in 100 matches with an average of 26.33 and strike rate of 137.85 in his IPL career so far. 3. Devon Conway 5 / 8 In the IPL 2025 mega Auction, the Chennai Super Kings secured star opener Devon Conway for Rs 6.25 crore. However, CSK preferred Rachin Ravindra over Conway for the first half of IPL. When Conway got his chances, he wasn't able to perform upto the expectations, scoring 94 runs in 4 matches of IPL 2025 so far. Given his underwhelming performance and Rs 6.25 crore salary, CSK might release Conway after IPL 2025 season in order to invest in younger prospects. Devon Conway's IPL Record 6 / 8 New Zealand opener Devon Conway, who was a key figure in CSK's 2023 title-winning campaign, has scored 1018 runs in 27 matches with an average of 44.26 and strike rate of 139.45 in his IPL career so far. 4. Deepak Hooda 7 / 8 Deepak Hooda, who was picked by CSK for Rs 1.7 crore during the auction, has disappointed with his performance in IPL 2025 season. He was tried at various batting positions but he failed to deliver, scoring just 31 runs in 6 matches in the IPL 2025 so far. After his disappointing outing, CSK might consider releasing Hooda after the IPL 2025 season and buy some impactful batters before the next season. Deepak Hooda's IPL Record 8 / 8 Deepak Hooda made his IPL debut in 2015 and has played over 100 IPL matches. He has scored 1496 runs in 124 matches with an average of 17.60 and strike rate of 127.65 in his IPL career so far.

Ishan Kishan to Mohammed Shami: Players who might be released from SRH before next year's IPL
Image credit: X (Formerly Twitter) Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), after an impressive run in IPL 2024 where they finished as runners-up, have failed to replicate their success in IPL 2025. With just three wins from ten matches, SRH are on the brink of elimination. Star players like Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, and Mohammed Shami have not lived up to expectations, often faltering in key moments. As the season nears its end, the franchise may be forced to reconsider their squad based on form, fitness, salary, and age. Image credit: X (Formerly Twitter) India's wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan was roped in by SRH for a hefty ₹11.40 crore at the IPL 2025 Mega Auction. While he started the season on a high with a century against Rajasthan Royals, his form dipped drastically afterward. In 10 matches, Kishan has managed only 196 runs, failing to provide consistency at the top. Considering his underwhelming form and high salary, SRH might consider releasing him ahead of the next season. In his IPL career so far, Kishan has scored 2840 runs in 115 matches at an average of 28.12 and a strike rate of 136.41. Heinrich Klaasen, retained for a massive ₹23 crore by SRH ahead of the 2025 auction, has struggled to justify his price tag. The South African power-hitter has scored 311 runs in 10 matches, which by his standards is far from impressive. Known for his aggressive batting and ability to dominate spinners, Klaasen has been unable to produce match-winning knocks consistently this season. Given the salary-to-performance mismatch, SRH might opt to release Klaasen. He currently has 1304 runs in 45 IPL matches with a healthy average of 37.26 and a strike rate of 164.65. SRH secured the services of veteran Indian pacer Mohammed Shami for ₹10 crore at the IPL 2025 auction. However, Shami has had a disappointing season, picking only 6 wickets in 9 matches with a concerning economy rate of 11.23. At 34, questions around his fitness and form are becoming more prominent. Despite being one of India's premier seamers with 133 wickets in 119 IPL matches and an economy of 8.63, SRH may choose to move on from Shami to invest in younger bowling options. Rahul Chahar was bought for ₹3.20 crore in the 2025 mega auction, but has been underutilized by SRH. The leg-spinner has played just one match this season and bowled only a single over, indicating a lack of trust from the team management. While Chahar remains a talented spinner, his minimal involvement this season raises doubts about his future with the franchise. SRH may look to release him and explore other spinning options in the next auction.
