Ashish Nehra rules out right-to-match option for Mohammed Shami in IPL auction

Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra declined to use the right-to-match option for fast bowler Mohammed Shami during the IPL mega auction. Shami was sold to SunRisers Hyderabad for INR 10 crore after a bidding war. Shami, who played for Gujarat Titans in the last two seasons, was a key player, taking 48 wickets in 33 matches. Fans expressed disappointment on social media over the Titans' decision not to retain him. The IPL 2025 auction, held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, saw other significant sales, including Rishabh Pant for INR 27 crore and Jos Buttler for INR 15.75 crore.
