Iceland Cricket made headlines with a bold post on the ongoing IPL 2025, naming a team of worst performers as the “IPL 2025 frauds and scammers team.” The team, captained by Rishabh Pant and featuring players like Venkatesh Iyer, included members from various IPL franchises, with Pant being named both captain and wicketkeeper. The team’s batting lineup included players like Rahul Tripathi, Rachin Ravindra, and Glenn Maxwell, while the bowling lineup featured R Ashwin, Matheesha Pathirana, and Mohammed Shami.
Both Pant and Iyer, who were top buys in the IPL auction, had disappointing seasons so far, with Pant managing only 128 runs in 11 innings and Iyer struggling to make an impact. Despite their performances, both players’ teams, Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders, are in contention for the playoffs with five wins each. However, KKR holds a slight edge over DC in the points table due to a drawn game against Punjab Kings.
Iceland Cricket’s post sparked debate and discussion among cricket fans, highlighting the challenges and pressures faced by players in high-profile tournaments like the IPL.
