Warner and Thakur go unsold in surprising IPL 2025 auction
In a surprising turn at the IPL 2025 auction, David Warner and Shardul Thakur went unsold. Warner, 38, entered the auction with a base price of INR 2 crore but failed to attract any bids after a lackluster IPL 2024 season. Thakur, also with a base price of INR 2 crore, did not receive any offers. He had a limited impact last season with CSK and has not played for India since December 2023 due to injury. Other notable players without bids included Prithvi Shaw, Jonny Bairstow, and Daryl Mitchell, all of whom had base prices of INR 75 lakh or INR 2 crore.
