The Indian Cricket Team is in such a situation that you can clearly see a distinction in the composition of the squads across formats. Here, we take a look at the list of three players unsold in IPL 2025 Mega Auctions but are in the Test squad now.
A few years ago, if a player had an India cap, he was surely going to get an IPL contract. However, times have changed now. The necessities of the T20 format have changed and for some Test specialists, it is hard to adapt.
1) Abhimanyu Easwaran
For a long time now, the West Bengal batter has been doing well at the domestic level. He has neither gotten a chance in the Indian XI nor a contract in the IPL. Even in the ongoing BGT, he is a part of the side but it is highly unlikely that he will get a chance. India is likely to persist with the likes of Shubman Gill.
2) Sarfaraz Khan was unsold in IPL 2025 Mega Auctions
Sarfaraz Khan is one of the players unsold in IPL 2025 Mega Auctions but are in the Test squad now. He made a mark in the IPL a few years ago but his IPL career has gone down since then. Last season, he did not have a team and it is the same for the next season, as well. Sarfaraz Khan must work on his pace game to get a chance in the IPL as per many analysts.
3) Tanush Kotian
Tanush Kotian played for Rajasthan Royals last year. However, surprisingly, he did not get a bid in the recent auctions. He would have been a decent choice to have as an off-spinning all-rounder in the team. Nevertheless, he has got a spot in the Indian Team. He will be R Ashwin‘s replacement in the BGT team.
