New Delhi: Every cricketer has a dream to play IPL. The reason for this is the immense wealth and fame gained through this. For Indian cricket, doing well in this T20 league is considered to be the first step to get a team India ticket. The IPL auction to be held on February 18 will open the lock of luck for many youngsters. While the 14th season of the tournament may prove to be the last for many famous Indian cricketers, let’s take a look at some such players who might not be able to play IPL after 2021.
Ambati Rayudu
35-year-old Ambati Rayudu has been an important player of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), he has been called till the match winner, but the previous season of the Yellow Army as well as Rayudu has not been anything special, so to say It will not be wrong that this year, he can play IPL for the last time.
Piyush Chawla
Piyush Chawla was bought by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in 2019 for a huge amount of 6.75 crores, but in the year 2020, he failed to meet the expectations of the team. He got only 6 wickets in his bag in 7 matches. Perhaps their bowling edge has reduced already, if the same performance continues, they will have to say goodbye to this T20 tournament.
Robin Uthappa
Robin Uthappa was bought by Rajasthan Royals (RR) last year for Rs 3 crore. He had scored only 196 runs in 12 matches of the IPL played in the UAE. This year, he will be seen playing for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The impact of age is visible on 35-year-old Uthappa’s performance. If he did not do anything special while staying in the Chennai team, then these franchises can release him.
Harbhajan Singh
40-year-old Harbhajan Singh did not play IPL in the year 2020 due to personal reasons. This year Chennai Superkings (CSK) has released him. For the auction of IPL 2021 (IPL 2021), he has kept his base price of Rs 2 crore. Even if a franchise gave him a chance, how many matches he will be able to play in the coming season, it is difficult to say. In such a situation, taking retirement will be the only option left for them.
Ms dhoni
MS Dhoni (MS Dhoni) team Chennai Super Kings (CSK) had a bad trip in IPL 2020. This was the first time in the history of the tournament when Chennai team could not make it to the playoffs by playing IPL. Apart from this, Dhoni himself scored just 200 runs and did not score a single half-century during this, which is Mahi’s worst performance in any season. After this, rumors of Mahi’s retirement from IPL started flying.
However, Dhoni made his supporters happy by giving this statement that he will also lead Chennai in 2021. When Danny Morrison asked Dhoni whether the match against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) was his last match for Chennai? He replied, ‘Definitely not’.
Dhoni will turn 40 in July this year. At that stage of age, the path from there goes towards retirement. If Mahi and Chennai Super Kings perform as badly as they did this year, they will definitely have to retire from this tournament.
