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.
1. Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant’s exclusion from the retention list was the most surprising one as he was the captain of the side in IPL 2024. He also made a comeback to competitive cricket after a horrific car accident with Delhi Capitals (DC). He even attended the IPL 2024 mini-auction in Dubai alongside the owners of the team.

Moreover, the fans are mulling over his possible induction into Chennai Super Kings (CSK) camp as a replacement for MS Dhoni, given if the veteran decides to hang his boots in the future ahead. It is worth noting that Pant was retained by DC for INR 16 crores in 2024.
