India pacer Umesh Yadav remained unsold in the just-concluded Indian Premier League 2025 mega auctions. This is something one needs to recall that Umesh was bought by Gujarat Titans during the mini auction in 2024 for INR 5.80 crore. He featured in seven matches and picked eight wickets with an economy of 10 while having an average of 26.25. After being unsold in the IPL 2025 auction, the right-arm pacer expressed that he felt 'frustrated and disturbed'. Umesh Yadav has represented four teams: Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Capitals, and Gujarat Titans, playing for them in 148 IPL matches so far. During the recent IPL 2025 Mega Auction, nobody picked him up and he went unsold for the 18th season of the tournament. This Vidarbha player shared what he felt regarding going unsold in the auction. Here is what said Umesh as quoted by Inside Sport “Everyone knows that I wasn’t selected for the IPL this year. I have been playing for 15 years. It (unsold at IPL 2025) is very shocking for me. Why should I lie? It feels bad. After playing so much and playing close to 150 IPL matches, you don’t get selected. It’s shocking. It’s upon the franchises and their strategies, or my name came late in the auction, and they weren't left with money. Regardless, something has happened. I am very frustrated and disturbed. But still, it’s okay. I can’t change anyone’s decision,” Also Read | Watch: Mohammad Rizwan's Sledge at Kevin Sinclair in Multan Test Goes Viral The Nagpur-born went under surgery right after the end of IPL 2024. He had posted regarding the same and had urged people to return fitter. Once he was looked after in IPL 2025, the pacer gallantly announced that his body can produce 140kmph and the day it would not be able to do the same, he will retire bowling. “After that, I had my leg surgery. Till I feel I can clock 140 kmph, I will bowl. When I won’t be able to bowl, I’ll quit cricket myself. I won’t have to tell this to anyone,” he added.
