Team India: Every year, many young cricketers join the Indian cricket team. Some of them succeed in securing their place in the team by performing consistently. However, there are some among them who, despite having talent and skills, get dropped from Team India.

These cricketers are out of the national team and no one buys them in their team in IPL either. Today in this article we are going to talk about one such promising batsman, who is a friend of Sanju Samson, and who will hardly find any buyer in the mega auction of IPL 2025.

Let us know about him in detail.

This player will remain unsold in IPL 2025

Devdutt Padikkal

Actually, the player we are talking about is none other than Devdutt Padikkal. The 24-year-old player got a chance to debut for India during the Test series played against England in early 2024.

This player scored a brilliant half-century in the very first match.

However, despite this, it cannot be said whether his place in the team is confirmed or not. Apart from this, Padikkal's performance in the last IPL season was not very special. In such a situation, hardly any team will include this player in their team in the 2025 mega auction.

Performance has been poor in the last two seasons

Devdutt Padikkal's last two IPL seasons have not been that special. If we talk about IPL 2023, then while playing for Lucknow Super Giants, the left-handed batsman scored 261 runs in 11 matches at an average of 26.10.

During this, two half-century innings came off his bat. At the same time, the poor form of this Karnataka player continued in IPL 2024 as well.

Last season, Padikkal scored just 38 runs in 7 matches. During this, his highest score was only 13 runs. On this kind of performance, no IPL franchise will bet on Devdutt Padikkal in the mega auction of IPL 2025. In such a situation, the chances of him remaining unsold are very high.
