IPL 2025: 5 players who succeeded in 2024 but flopped this season

It is hard to maintain consistency in a highly-competitive tournament like the Indian Premier League (IPL). While there were some fantastic performances in the 18th edition, others failed to make a mark.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won their maiden IPL title after beating Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the final on Tuesday, June 3, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Virat Kohli starred with the bat for RCB throughout the campaign and also in the final. The winner of the Orange Cap in IPL 2024 finished as the third-highest run-getter this season. However, several players couldn't show such remarkable consistency.

In this article, CricTracker looks at five players who were successful in IPL 2024 but couldn't repeat their heroics this season.

5. Jake Fraser-McGurk

Jake Fraser-McGurk became the talk of the town after lighting up IPL 2024 with some blistering hitting for the Delhi Capitals (DC). He went after the bowlers from the get-go and hit boundaries for fun. The opening batter amassed 330 runs from nine matches at a commendable average of 36.67 and a mind-boggling strike rate of 234.04.

DC re-signed him for INR 9 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction. The right-handed batter was expected to go from strength to strength this season. However, he looked terribly out of sorts and went on to lose his place in the side mid-way through the tournament. Fraser-McGurk only scored 55 runs in six matches at an average of 9.17 and a strike rate of 105.77.
