Why Could be the reason behind Sarfaraz Khan going unsold in IPL 2025 Auction?

Sarfaraz Khan entered the IPL scene back in 2015. He made an exceptional debut playing for RCB but since then his career graph in the tournament has only gone down. He endured fitness issues which curtailed his playtime. RCB eventually released him. He moved to PBKS in 2019, but could not leave a lasting impression there as well. Finally, Delhi Capitals signed him at the price of Rs.20 lakhs in 2022. He found a place in the playing XI of the DC franchise as well but again had not much success with the bat. He has so far featured in 50 matches in the IPL and scored 585 runs, smashing only fifty in the process.
