The halfway stage of the 19th edition of the Indian Premier League has been crossed. Today is the 37th (CSK vs GT) and 38th (LSG vs KKR) match. Saturday was a historic day, in which Punjab Kings chased 265 runs and Sunrisers Hyderabad chased 229 runs. Centuries came from the bats of Vaibhav Suryavanshi and KL Rahul. Many players have impressed so far, but there are many who have not been able to perform as per expectations and if their team releases them before the next season, then perhaps no franchise will buy them in the auction.

Ajinkya Rahane

37 year old Ajinkya Rahane is in the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders, but his and the team’s performance has been very poor. KKR has won only 1 out of 7 matches. Rahane’s personal performance has also been disappointing, he has not even been able to open his account in the last two matches. After scoring a half-century (67) against Mumbai Indians in the first match, he has not been able to even touch double figures 4 times. If KKR releases him, then perhaps no team will buy him in the auction for 2027. This can be said not only considering his performance but also his age.

nicholas puran

Nicholas Puran is still 30 years old, but looking at his performance in IPL 2026, it can be said that hardly any other team will show interest in him in the auction. Puran, playing for Lucknow Super Giants, did not even touch double figures in 4 out of 7 matches, his highest score is 22 runs. He has scored only 73 runs in 7 matches. There is a possibility that LSG may release him before the next season, if this happens then it will be very difficult for him to find another team in the auction.

Jaydev Unadkat

IPL 2026 has also not been good for Indian fast bowler Jaydev Unadkat, playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad. He is currently out of the playing 11, he played his last match on 11 April. In the matches against LSG and PBKS, he could not take a single wicket and conceded 50 and 40 runs respectively. He has taken only 4 wickets in 4 matches so far in the ongoing edition, he took 3 wickets against KKR. SRH will back young players like Praful Hinge, Saqib Hussain, in such a situation it can be assumed that the franchise may release Unadkat, in such a situation it may be difficult for them.

Harshal Patel

IPL 2026 has also not been good for Harshal Patel of Sunrisers Hyderabad, he got a chance to play in 3 matches in which he could not take a single wicket. He is also out of playing 11.

Sandeep Sharma

IPL 2026 has not been very good for Sandeep Sharma, playing for Rajasthan Royals, which is why now the team is not including him in the playing 11. He has taken 5 wickets in the first 5 matches, whereas against Sunrisers Hyderabad he gave away 52 runs. If he no longer gets a chance to play in the playing 11 and is not able to improve his performance, then perhaps Rajasthan will release him after this season. In such a situation, it will be difficult to sell them in the auction.

In IPL, bids for players are held every season and teams prepare squads according to their own. In this process, there have been many players who have made a special mark in their career by playing for different franchises. There are some names who have represented more than 5 teams.

Aaron Finch – Most 9 team appearances

He has been a part of teams like Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Daredevils, Pune Warriors India, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Lions, Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders. This figure makes him different from everyone else in this matter.

Jaydev Unadkat – Top among Indian players

Indian fast bowler Jaydev Unadkat is also quite high in this list. He has played IPL for 8 different teams so far. The story of his frequent team changes also shows the uncertainty of this league. The names of these teams include Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Capitals, Rising Pune Supergiant, Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians, Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Manish Pandey – has played for 7 teams

Manish Pandey, the first Indian batsman to score a century in IPL, has also traveled to many teams. He has played for 7 different franchises in his career (Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Pune Warriors India, Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Lucknow Super Giants, Delhi Capitals). This shows that teams have wanted to include him again and again.

Dinesh Karthik – A long journey of experience

Wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik represented 6 teams in his long IPL career. While playing for Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Gujarat Lions and Kolkata Knight Riders, he played the role of finisher and leader and many times got the team out of difficult situations.
