Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, and Kane Williamson go unsold in IPL 2025 mega auction

In the IPL 2025 mega auction held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, several high-profile players went unsold, including Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, and Kane Williamson. This marks a significant change from previous auctions where these players attracted bids. The auction, which took place over two days from November 24 to 25, saw franchises spend a record Rs 639.15 crore to acquire 182 players. However, many notable names failed to secure contracts. Other unsold players included Jonny Bairstow, Piyush Chawla, and Steve Smith, among others. This year's auction highlighted a shift in player demand and market dynamics within the league.
