Top 3 underpaid players in IPL 2025
Indian Premier League 2025 has seen the top-paid players like Rishabh Pant and Venkatesh Iyer not performing well, the league has seen some players who were underpaid performing well in the league phase of the IPL 2025. Let’s take a look at top 3 underpaid players in IPL 2025.
#3 Ajinkya Rahane (Kolkata Knight Riders)
Ajinkya Rahane, who was brought in by KKR for ₹1.5 crore in IPL mega auction 2025, has been a breath of fresh air for the franchise in IPL 2025 after KKR released their title winning captain, scoring 390 runs in 13 matches at an average of 35.45.
He has successfully outperformed his pricier teammates, his steady batting and leadership made him a vital asset. Rahane’s ability to anchor innings and accelerate when needed proves his low price is a steal for KKR even though KKR is out of the playoffs they will aim for a better title contending season in IPL 2026.
#2 Digvesh Rathi (Lucknow Super Giants)
Digvesh Rathi, who was a relatively unknown spinner from Delhi before playing for Lucknow Giants, has turned out to be a strong spinner since his debut IPL 2025 season. Bought for a mere ₹30 lakh, he became Lucknow Super Giants’ top wicket-taker with 14 wickets in 12 matches.
Despite being fined for his celebrations and his on pitch behaviour, his performance remained steady. Impressively, Rathi overshadowed Ravi Bishnoi, stepping up as the key spinner and proving his immense potential under pressure.
#1 Vipraj Nigam (Delhi Capitals)
At a mere age of just 20, Vipraj Nigam has emerged as a dynamic and upcoming all-rounder for Delhi Capitals, contributing significantly with both bat and ball. His tally of 142 runs and 13 wickets in 14 matches showcases his capability of influencing games on multiple occasions.
Signed for a small sum of ₹50 lakh, Nigam’s flexibility and clutch performances make him one of the most cost-effective picks in IPL 2025, delivering value far beyond his price tag.
