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.
3. Mohammed Siraj
Pacer Mohammed Siraj’s exclusion came as a surprise for many as the pacer has time and again expressed his desire to stick to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The franchise retained only three players in the form of Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Yash Dayal.
The Bengaluru-based franchise opted for uncapped Dayal over Siraj and shed five crore. It is worth noting that the team do have a choice of using RTM and getting back Siraj in their den. And the team would like to have the rights of one of their cherished players. Notably, Siraj was retained by RCB in 2024 for INR 2.60 crore.
