Indian Premier League 2025 is in full swing, and there have been plenty of thrillers already, which have kept the fans engaged. The tournament has just ticked off 34 matches, and there is still a long way to go in deciding which teams will make it to the top four.
While there has been plenty of love for players who have performed well for their respective teams, it is also worth noting that IPL is a competitive league, and fans are too attached to their teams. So there will be criticism as well as some hate for players who have not been able to do well. In this article, we look at three players who are getting hate in IPL 2025.
Here are the three players who are getting hate in IPL 2025:
3. Ravichandran Ashwin
Ravichandran Ashwin‘s return to the Chennai Super Kings came as a piece of good news for the fans, and the local boy was welcomed with open arms by the Chennai Super Kings fans. He started his IPL journey with this team, and Ashwin always proudly speaks about how privileged he is to represent them. However, the performance has not been up to the mark from Chennai Super Kings as they are languishing in the bottom half of the table.
Ashwin has not been able to perform well so far this season, picking up five wickets in six matches at an economy of close to 10. The batters in the powerplay overs have also taken him down, and even when he was promoted up the order against KKR, he could not contribute with his batting. Ashwin was dropped after six games against the Lucknow Super Giants.
Given his performance, Ashwin has been getting a lot of hate in IPL 2025. Fans have pointed out his hefty price tag of 10 crores, and also, a few videos from his channel went viral on social media, which caused a lot of people to turn against Ashwin. Not only fans, but even some of the press attending Fleming’s post-match press conference were seen asking him about Ashwin’s YouTube channel. He has been getting a lot of criticism from past cricketers who want him dropped from the squad.
