Cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra said that RR batter Shimron Hetmyer has not performed in the IPL 2025 and wasted ₹11 crore, adding that RR should release him. "RR have fallen...short in run chases many times, and Dhruv Jurel was standing in...end in all those games," Chopra added. "I won't say that ₹14 crore investment in Jurel was wrong," he stated.
