The five-times champions CSK had a terrible IPL 2025 season as they finished at the bottom of the points table. However, the 17-year-old Mhatre impressed everyone including MS Dhoni with his impactful knocks. He smashed 240 runs in 7 matches at an average of 34.28 and a strike rate of 188.97 in the IPL 2025 season. After his impressive IPL debut season, Mhatre is all set to be retained by CSK before the IPL 2026 auction.

The South African all-rounder provided valuable depth to the Mumbai Indians squad and helped them reach the playoffs. Given his utility, the 30-year-old Bosch is likely to be retained by Mumbai Indians before the IPL 2026 auction. Corbin Bosch's Record In T20 Cricket 4 / 8 Corbin Bosch, who is valuable with both bat and ball, has played 92 matches in T20 cricket so far. During that time, he has scored 741 runs and picked 62 wickets so far. 3. Dewald Brevis (CSK) 5 / 8 Chennai Super Kings (CSK) signed young South African batter Dewald Brevis as a replacement for the injured Gurjapneet Singh in the middle of the IPL 2025 season. Brevis produced many impactful and match-winning knocks while batting in the middle order for CSK amid the team's poor IPL campaign. The 22-year-old Brevis, who scored 225 runs in 6 matches of IPL 2025 at an average of 37.50 and a strike rate of 180.00, is set to be retained by CSK before the IPL 2026 auction.

He has picked 18 wickets as well. 4. Shardul Thakur (LSG) 7 / 8 Lucknow Super Giants signed Shardul Thakur as replacement for injured Mohsin Khan, who was ruled out of the 18th season of the IPL due to injury. Thakur, a proven performer across all three formats for India, was signed from the Registered Available Player Pool (RAPP) at his reserve price of Rs 2 crore. Shardul has made an impact with the ball for LSG during the ongoing IPL 2025 season. Thakur picked 13 wickets in 10 matches during the IPL 2025 season. Given his utility and low price tag, Thakur is likely to be retained by LSG before the IPL 2026 auction. Shardul Thakur's Record In T20 Cricket 8 / 8 Shardul Thakur, who has a knack to take wickets and possesses an ability to score important runs, has scored 459 runs and picked 202 wickets in his T20 career so far.

4 Temporary Replacements Of 2025 Who Can Earn Big Money In IPL 2026 Auction: Jonny Bairstow, Mustafizur Rahman And...
photoDetails english 2934908 Updated:Jul 21, 2025, 10:28 PM IST 1. Jonny Bairstow (Mumbai Indians) 1 / 7 Mumbai Indians picked Jonny Bairstow as temporary replacement for Will Jacks, who had to join England squad for national duties ahead of the IPL 2025 playoffs. Bairstow played just two matches in IPL 2025, scoring 85 runs at a strike rate of 184.78, but he made immediate impact with the bat while opening the innings with Rohit Sharma for Mumbai Indians. The 35-year-old is an experienced T20 cricketer with a strong international record and a proven match-winner in the IPL. His explosive batting and wicket-keeping skill make him a valuable asset and if Bairstow maintains fitness, franchises are likely to bid heavily for him during the 2026 auction. Jonny Bairstow's IPL Record 2 / 7 Jonny Bairstow, who is one of the cleanest strikers of the ball and can win the matches for his team on his own, has scored 1674 runs in 52 matches with an average of 34.87 and strike rate of 146.07 in his IPL career so far. 2. Kyle Jamieson (Punjab Kings) 3 / 7 Punjab Kings (PBKS) picked New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamieson as a replacement for Lockie Ferguson, who was ruled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 due to a hamstring injury. He played only four matches of IPL 2025 season but he made notable contributions, particularly in high-stakes games for Punjab Kings. Jamieson, who is known for leveraging his 6'8" height to generate pace and bounce and can also contribute as a lower-order batter, can be a good buying option for teams during IPL 2026 auction. Kyle Jamieson's IPL Record 4 / 7 Kyle Jamieson, who is known for using his height to extract extra and awkward bounce, has picked 14 wickets in 13 matches with an economy of 9.67 in his IPL career so far. 3. Mustafizur Rahman (Delhi Capitals) 5 / 7 Delhi Capitals (DC) signed Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman as a temporary replacement for Jake Fraser-McGurk, who had left Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 midway due to personal reasons. He took four wickets in three matches of IPL 2025 with his variations. Given his experience and ability to bowl cutters and deceptive slower balls, Mustafizur Rahman can be a sought-after bowler for franchises during IPL 2026 auction. Mustafizur Rahman's IPL Record 6 / 7 Mustafizur Rahman, who has played for five IPL teams, has 65 wickets to his name in 60 matches with an economy of 8.13 so far. 4. William O'Rourke (Lucknow Super Giants) 7 / 7 Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) roped in New Zealand pacer, William O'Rourke as a replacement for Mayank Yadav, who sustained a back injury and was ruled out of the IPL 2025 season. It was his maiden IPL season during which he had a mix of highs and lows. O'Rourke performance against Gujarat Titans ( 3 wickets for 27 runs in 4 overs) showcased his potential as a game-changer. Overall, he picked 6 wickets in three IPL matches during the IPL 2025 season. Given his ability to extract bounce and perform under pressure in key moments, O'Rourke can be a valuable asset and teams are likely to bid heavily for him during the IPL 2026 auction.

"You Hit My Father": Harbhajan Singh Reveals How S Sreesanth's Daughter's Reaction On IPL Slap-Gate Shattered Him
The inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) made several headlines not only because of its unique concept but also due to some controversial moments. The biggest controversy happened when Mumbai Indians captain Harbhajan Singh slapped Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) pacer Sreesanth, after a match between the two teams in Mohali. This incident went viral like a wildfire which left the ex-India pacer in tears and Harbhajan was banned from the remained of the tournament. 17 years have passed and both the cricketers have moved on from the incident and share a good relation with each other. On numerous occasions, the former spinner has apologised to Sreesanth for his actions. However, the scars of the incident are still there in Harbhajan's heart and he is not able to get over it. In a recent interaction with ex-India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin, Harbhajan revealed a heartbreaking moment when Sreesanth's daughter refused to talk to him because of the 'slapgate' incident. 'One thing I'd want to change in my life is that incident with Sreesanth. I want to remove that incident from my career. That is the incident I would change from my list. What transpired was wrong and I shouldn't have done what I did. I apologised 200 times. What I felt so bad was even years after that incident, I have been apologising every opportunity or stage I get. It was a mistake,' said Harbhajan on Kutti Stories with Ash. 'What hurt me even after many years was when I met his daughter and I was talking to her with a lot of love and she said, 'I don't want to talk to you. You hit my father.' My heart was shattered and I was on the verge of tears. I was asking myself what is the impression I've left on her? She must be thinking of me in a poor light, right? She sees me as the guy who hit her father. I felt so bad. I still apologise to his daughter that I can't do anything,' he added. Both Sreesanth and Harbhajan were a part of India's 2011 World Cup-winning squad.
