IPL 2025 Released Players Complete List – Full Details Inside
KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, and Shreyas Iyer, the top surprises in our complete official released players list for all teams for IPL 2025.
The IPL 2025 successfully kicks-off with the pre Auction retentions by all 10 Teams. A total of 46 players have been retained by all 10 Teams with most teams retaining their strong core. However, the retentions also produced a few shockers with some of the quality players not getting retained by the franchises, for either budget constraints, or retention dynamics.
Some of the big names that were left out of retentions include KL Rahul from LSG, Rishabh Pant from DC, Shreyas Iyer from KKR, Jos Buttler from RR, etc. While few of the existing Franchises of these players can still use RTM cards to buy them on the Auction, it still highlights the failed negotiation between the player and team, and the possibility of finding better compensation and a new team.
While everyone knows the players that have been retained by the franchises, in this article we take a look at the complete released players list for all 10 Teams ahead of the IPL 2025 Mega Auction. Most of these players will be in the auction, which highlights the importance of knowing such players. So, let’s look at the list while dividing them into two categories – Key released players and other released players.
