The 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has now been recorded in the pages of history. This season was named by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). RCB, led by Rajat Patidar, defeated Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 6 runs in the match held at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 3. While RCB managed to become an IPL champion for the first time, the dream of winning the Punjab Kings title was not fulfilled this year.

In IPL 2025, young players like Ayush Mhatre, Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Priyansh Arya were surprised by their performance. At the same time, some Indian players did not live up to expectations. Some such names were also included in the list of poor performing players, which were part of the team in India’s last T20 series against England. However, now such players are in danger of being out of India’s T20 team. These players could perform their claim for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026 by performing brilliantly in IPL 2025, but this could not happen. Let’s know about 4 such players …

Mohammed Shami: Experienced Fast bowler participated in IPL 2025 for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). However, his performance was not good. Shami took only 6 wickets in 9 matches at 56.16 averages and a poor economy rate of 11.23. Shami’s length and line deteriorated, due to which he proved to be expensive. Shami’s worst performance was against Punjab Kings, where he scored 75 runs in 4 overs. Shami was later dropped from playing-11 and in her place, Ishaan Malinga of Sri Lanka got a chance, who took 13 wickets in just 7 matches. Shami was bought by Kavya Maran’s team for Rs 10 crore, but he could not live up to expectations. Bowlers like famous Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Khalil Ahmed are in excellent form, in such a situation Shami’s T20 team is no longer seen to be made in a place.

Rinku Singh: Before the IPL 2025, the left -handed batsman Rinku Singh was decided to retain Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for Rs 13 crore, but he could not live up to expectations. In the recent season of IPL, Rinku’s performance with the bat was very poor. Rinku Singh scored 206 runs in a total of 11.42 innings and 206 runs in 153.73. Rinku has been a member of the Indian T20 team, but his form has gone down since IPL 2024. He has scored just 190 runs in T20 cricket for India at an average of 21.11 in this era. Rinku is now in danger of being out of India’s T20 team.

Ravi Bishnoi: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) retained leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi for Rs 11 crore. But he could not do well for the team in the recent IPL season. Bishnoi took only 9 wickets in 11 matches and his economy rate was 10.83, which can be considered extremely bad for a spinner. Ravi Bishnoi has been a part of the Indian team in the last few T20 series, but now his team does not seem to be a place. Anyway, the Indian team has options like Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakraborty, which are continuously performing well.

Nitish Kumar Reddy: All -rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy was selected in the Indian team for the T20 series against England, but due to injury he had to be out in the middle series. Then Nitish recovered from the injury and landed in IPL 2025, but his performance for Sunrisers Hyderabad was disappointing. Nitish scored 182 runs in 13 matches with an average of 22.75. Nitish’s highest score was 32 runs and the strike rate was 118.95. Nitish bowled in only 3 innings in IPL 2025, in which he took 2 wickets. Nitish was retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs 6 crore.
