Andre Russell had been with KKR since 2014, winning two titles with the franchise and providing countless memorable innings. Unfortunately, he hasn't been at his best in the last few editions, ultimately surfacing as a Rs 12 crore release.

Matheesha Pathirana brew trouble for batsmen in his initial IPL seasons, courtesy of his unorthodox slinging action. However, he had a pretty average outing with CSK in the latest edition, resulting in a Rs 13 crore release from the 5-time champions.

Venkatesh Iyer is the third-most expensive Indian player ever bought in an IPL auction. KKR acquired him for Rs 23.75 after an impressive run in 2024, but he too, like McGurk, had a disappointing season last year, resulting in his release.
