IPL 2025: Team-wise one most underused player of the season

3.  Karn Sharma (Mumbai Indians)

The Mumbai Indians did have a decent season in IPL 2025, and though they were not able to lift the title, the franchise backed their senior and young players within the squad. However, Karn Sharma was not played as much and despite giving some great performances in the crucial stages of the game, he remained on the sidelines more often. The Uttar Pradesh-born is one of the most experienced campaigners in the tournament, and his experience and skill could have come in handy if used efficiently by the Mumbai franchise.

4. Washington Sundar (Gujarat Titans)

The Gujarat Titans might have had a great season, but they have made some questionable decisions, which could have been one of the reasons why they were slightly off their game in crucial games towards the fag end of the season. One of the top players who was underused by the Titans was all-rounder Washington Sundar. The Tamil Nadu-born did manage to show a bit of his talent with the bat, but barely got to show his skill with the ball. It is safe to say GT missed the trick by not realizing the potential Sundar brought to the table.
