IPL 2021:  PLAYERS WHO MIGHT RETIRE AFTER THIS SEASON

HARBHAJAN SINGH

The turbanator from India was brought by KKR this season. He might be having his last IPL season. Bhajji has already turned 41 years. He would find it very difficult to get any buyers for IPL 2022.

Given his age, his reflexes have also slowed down which would go against him. Harbhajan was also not part of the last IPL season due to personal issues. Bhajji is yet to take wickets in VIVO IPL 2021

IMRAN TAHIR

South African spinner has been very instrumental in IPL for his team Chennai Super Kings. His unique way of celebrating after picking up wickets is always in the memory of his fans.

Tahir would find it very difficult to continue playing IPL due to his age and the team combination. He has already turned 42. Fans would surely miss this spinner from next year.

CHRIS GAYLE:

The universal boss Chris Gayle might be playing his last IPL this season. He has been an outstanding player throughout the years for teams he was part of. His sixes and funny nature in the ground have been a treat to watch over the years.

He might find it very difficult to buy any buyers considering his age 42 years and the fact that next year there is the mega auction for IPL. Teams would most probably not show interest in this Jamaica veteran.

MAHENDRA SINGH DHONI:

MS Dhoni is a brand in himself. He has been a player who has made the state of Chennai his second home. Having played for CSK for all seasons (except 2 years when the team was banned), this veteran player has found a special place in the hearts of all cricket fans.

Dhoni retired from International cricket last year and now he plays only in IPL. We expect Dhoni to retire from IPL 2022 as well at the end of this IPL season. Dhoni has said that he would continue with Chennai Super Kings.

So, we might see him with CSK, not as a player but maybe as an important member of the team management.

DALE STEYN

The South African speed gun Dale Steyne used to be one of the deadly bowlers of the past. But since the past few years, he has looked off-color. He has been suffering from an injury in the last few years.

This IPL season also, he has withdrawn his name from the list. Dale Steyn is someone who always gives 100 percent on the cricket field. We might have already seen Dale Steyn in IPL for the very last time. We hope that he remains fit for the rest of his life.

AMBATI RAIDU

Ambati Raidu has been an instrumental player for CSK over the years. He retired from international cricket in the year 2019. Raidu has been one of the most important pillars in the batting department for CSK.

He has played some memorable match-winning knocks. Ambati Raidu had some fitness issues recently. With the mega auction scheduled next year, Raidu may call it quits from IPL after this season.

AMIT MISHRA

Amit Mishra is one of the most successful bowlers of IPL. His leg-spin bowling has impressed everyone during the initial IPL seasons. He was on song till IPL 2014. But since the last 6 seasons, his graph has decreased drastically.

His fitness has always been a matter of concern for teams. Next year being the mega IPL, it is highly unlikely that we see Amit Mishra in IPL 2022 again.
