Sunil Gavaskar IPL Concerns : The IPL is the biggest T20 cricket league in the world, and it gives a large platform for young players to show their abilities. The league has seen a massive increase in its popularity, which therefore brought along increased wages for the cricketers. Here we find not only experienced or international players but also young and local players who can make millions of rupees.
It was Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar who was reported to express his misgivings about these new tendencies. Given this situation, Gavaskar still believes that players who haven’t been capped should not get so much money. The rule changes for the uncapped players of the IPL 2025 season thus opened the way for Gavaskar’s severe criticism. Apart from that, the ex-Indian captain has once more been vocal about the matter.
Damage to Indian Cricket
Simple words can be used by Sunil Gavaskar to describe the whole situation. He said that “The signing of players at such high prices may not be a good thing in terms of maintaining players’ participation in the game and their hunger to represent India. Although, in his opinion, taking a franchise down a difficult path is more of an issue. He mentioned that the unrecognised players’ terms were changed to allow MS Dhoni to make the league, and the cap increased to ₹4 crores.”
Last week, in his most recent column, Gavaskar’s writings unveiled a statement: “After we have paid exorbitant amounts to the players, many of them are sure to lose the love and hunger to play the game. Even if the franchise is not worried, as they still think that they have made a good deal, Indian cricket will suffer. The success or failure of a player will have its effect on Indian cricket. Through last year’s grand auction, MS Dhoni was among the uncapped players, and the salary cap for them was raised to ₹4 crores to have him onboard.”
Big Money, But No Impact
According to Gavaskar, no player who was not a first-team player in any tournament and was bought for an expensive price was able to prove his worth on the big stage at that time. A few years ago, that Indian player openly said, “In the recent past, there has been no case of a player who was bought for a lot of money and has played officehility a justified their inclusion in the team. It is possible that in the future, with experience, the players might get better. On the other hand, if they choose to go only to local leagues to play, their chances of improvement are going to be at a standstill.”
Rashikh Dar Salam: The Most Expensive Uncapped Player in IPL 2025
Rashikh Dar Salam, it should be noted, has set a record by being the costliest uncapped player in the 2025 IPL mega auction. It was the Royal Challengers Bangalore who acquired him, paying an amount of ₹6 crore, although he has been involved in only a couple of matches of the ongoing season. Sunil Gavaskar meant to say that when individuals or organizations start investing huge sums of money in managing youngsters, it comes with a lot of expectations that most of them cannot meet and consequently fail. “The next year, the scenario changes as their prices drop,” he elaborates.
