The "Lord" of IPL cricket and a fan favorite, Shardul Thakur was shockingly left without a team. His high base pricemight have deterred franchises.

Kyle Jamieson
The towering New Zealand pacer, once a highly sought-after player, went unsold as teams seemed to prefer other options for their pace attack.
Jonny Bairstow
The English wicketkeeper-batter, known for his aggressive batting at the top, couldn’t find a spot in any team. Injury concerns and patchy form might have played a role.
Evin Lewis
The West Indian batter, celebrated for his T20 exploits, surprisingly failed to attract any bids. Teams seemed to prioritize younger or more consistent international players.
David Warner
A legendary IPL performer and former champion captain, Warner going unsold was the most stunning outcome. While his age and recent dip in form might have been factors, his absence will leave a void in the tournament.
