5 surprising releases by IPL franchises before 2025 auction
On October 31, all franchises of the IPL unveiled their retentions lists and the development surprised many fans.
4. Jos Buttler
Buttler was not retained by Rajasthan Royals and they opted for Shimron Hetmyer as the overseas batter in retentions. It is worth noting that the England Captain played a surreal knock for the Royals in the game against KKR, scoring an explosive unbeaten knock (107* off 60 balls).
Jos Buttler was retained by RR for INR 10 crore ahead of IPL 2024 and the batter was let go due to his regular confrontation with injuries. Moreover, the franchise has retained wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel leaving out veterans such as Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal.
