IPL 2025: from Rishabh to Rohit Sharma from Pant – Large Investments, Low Return | Cricket News
In any sport, big money does not always guarantee great performance – and the Indian Premier League (IPL) is not an exception. Every year, large auction prices receive headlines and fuel fan expectations, but in the middle of the season, the numbers often tell a different story.
The 2025 edition of the IPL followed the last year’s mega auction, and the franchisees are in a record amount to bring together their cadres. The buzzing sky around the best purchases was high-Uzmans and fans closely followed whether these investments worked.
Now, in the semi -stage of the league, the entire ten teams played at least seven of 14 games, it’s time to evaluate the performances of the most expensive stars of the tournament.
Here are the top five low performance among the players of the election frame. IPL 2025 So far:
1. Rishabh pants (Lucknow Super Giants – RS 27 CRORE)
The highest price tag in the history of IPL brought Rishabh pants to Lucknow Super Giants and tremendous expectations. India Wicketkeeper-Batter had made a inspiring return last season after a deadly traffic accident, and the strong show with Delhi Capitals made her a warm choice. LSG also gave him the tasks of captain, and waited for leadership and jogging.
While the team was on well – the fourth – Pant’s personal form was wrinkled on the table with five wins in eight games. In seven Inning, he scored a strike rate of 15.14 in only 106 runs and a strike rate of less than 100. Only one fifty aside as a significant contribution.
Statistics: M: 8 | I: 7 | R: 106 | HS: 63 | AVG: 15.14 | SR: 98.14 | 50S: 1
2. VENKATESH IYER (Knight rider – RS 23.75 CRORE)
Kolkata Knight Riders stunned many people by exploding 23.75 Crore to recapture Venkatesh Ier, which they did not hold. But in half of the season, gambling looks shaky.
Kkr was inconsistent, sitting sixth on the table with only three wins of seven games. It was also irregular – fifty, but a few good strokes, including something else. The 155.12 strike rate is healthy, but with only 121 runs from five Inning, it has not yet made an expected effect on the best purchase.
Statistics: M: 7 | I: 5 | R: 121 | HS: 60 | AVG: 24.20 | SR: 155.12 | 50S: 1

You have a low -performance player with the best chance to reverse the seasons?
3. Rashid Khan (Gujarat Titans – RS 18 Crore)
Rashid Khan, known as one of the best T20 pottery, won a consistent match in the previous seasons. It was held by Gujarat Titans for RS 18 Crore – more than Skipper Shubman Gill – Rashid was expected to be a bowling spear head.
However, the Afghan leg Spinner had an unusual quiet season so far. In seven games, an average of 63.25 and 9,73 economic ratio managed only four small gates. GT exhibits a good performance as a unit and sits above the score table, while Rashid’s lack of penetration continues to be a concern about the end of the work.
Statistics: M: 7 | W: 4 | BBI: 2/37 | AVG: 63.25 | ECON: 9.73 | SR: 39.00
4. Pat Cummins (Sunrisers Hyderabad – RS 18 Crore)
After taking SRH to the final of last season, Pat Cummins, who was held for 18 RS Crore, went on a difficult trip this year. Under his captain, SRH has only won two of the seven matches sitting ninth in the ranking.
Cummins took seven small doors, but the economy ratio of 10.21 was worrying. While I was influenced by the spell of 3/26 against Mumbai Indians, such performances were rare. While SRH’s playoff hopes are decreasing, onus is in the captains to inspire a return.
Statistics: M: 7 | W: 7 | BBI: 3/26 | AVG: 36.00 | ECON: 10.21 | SR: 21.14
5. Rohit Sharma (Mumbai Indians – RS 16.30 Crore)
Rohit Sharma’s 76 stroke against Chennai Super Kings showed the glare of his brightness, but the general picture remained overwhelming. Except for these innings, it has only 82 running on six trips – not ideal for the opening of the caliber and value.
Mi recently found some rhythm, he ranked sixth with four wins from eight games. However, if Rohit will justify the RS 16.30 Crore retention, more consistent and effective innings will be needed in the second half of the tournament.
Statistics: M: 7 | R: 158 | HS: 76* | AVG: 26.33 | SR: 154.90 | 50S: 1
