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.
