IPL 2025: Biggest pay cuts after retentions revealed
Teams submitted their final list of retained players on Thursday, October 31, and a lot of surprises were in store for the fans.
4. Rahul Tewatia
Another Gujarat Titans player, Rahul Tewatia, also accepted a massive pay cut as his salary dropped from INR 9 crore to INR 4 crore. The flamboyant all-rounder was retained as the second uncapped player by the Shubman Gill-led side. Tewatia had a decent season with the bat in IPL 2024, as he scored 188 runs from 12 matches, at an average of 26.86 and a strike rate of 145.74. The 31-year-old is a handy leg-spinner but IPL 2024 was the first season where he wasn't used with the ball.
He has been with the Titans since IPL 2022 and has only bowled 49 balls across three seasons. However, Tewatia is an experienced finisher down the order for the Titans. Shahrukh and Tewatia can help the Titans finish close games with their ability to hit the big shots from the get-go. There is Rashid Khan, who can form a troika with them and help the Titans finish strongly.
