The Indian Premier League has time and again proven to be a hub of emerging new talent, gripping thrillers, dramatic last over scenes, banters and some breathtaking finishes. This starstruck tournament is not only one of the most anticipated tournaments but has created a platform for all players across nations to showcase their talents and to become million-dollar names.

Some have taken full advantage of this stage to become a chevalier of the game whereas some have lost their existence and value due to their insignificant contributions and performances. Each year, the franchise gets set to battle against each other and bid for some of the biggest names of the sport.

Players are bought in the heat of the moment due to competitiveness of the auction or it may even seem to be an ego biased pick. It’s all a part of this richest league in the world- The IPL. With the 12th edition of the league, done and dusted,  the time has come for the head coaches and members of the franchise to put on their thinking caps to select a balanced, experienced yet a youth striven squad that could book themselves a place in the playoffs- an ambition of each player and associated members.

During this process, several players fail to do justice to their bided prices owing to which the franchises are left with no option but to release the invaluable players.

Here is a probable list of 5 players who might be released in the IPL 2020 Auction

1. Carlos Brathwaite &#8211; INR 5 Crore

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-329100" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Carlos-Brathwaite.jpg" alt="Carlos Brathwaite" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-329100" class="wp-caption-text">Carlos Brathwaite. (Photo Source: Instagram)</figcaption>

All it took was 4 balls for Carlos Brathwaite, the hard-hitting batsman from Barbados to become one of the feared batsmen in T20 cricket – 4 sixers that sealed the win for Windies in the 2016 World T20 final. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been able to live up to the reputation and expectations after that knock.

Having bid a massive sum of 5 crores for him, the Knight Riders would have expected their most expensive purchase of the season would have showcased some of the prowess to lift them to the top of the charts. However, The West Indian played only two games this season and failed to make an impression in any of the games.

Managing to score just 11 runs without bagging any wicket wasn’t justice to the price paid for him by the team. KKR will be better off spending this money on alternate pinch hitter/batting all-rounder in the 2020 IPL auction, an area Kolkata Knight Riders still haven’t got right.

2. Jaydev Unadkat &#8211; INR 8.4 Crore

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-350858" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/CT_362562.jpg" alt width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-350858" class="wp-caption-text">Jaydev Unadkat. (Photo: Surjeet Yadav/IANS)</figcaption>

From leading India’s Under-19 bowling attack in the 2010 World Cup to being the highest bided Indian player in consecutive IPL editions, Jaydev Unadkat has come a long way. While he was a big success under the leadership of MS Dhoni, who is known to smartly use his resources, the Rajasthan Royals haven’t been able to derive any joy from this buy.

The last two editions of IPL had been a total disappointment, not only for the Saurastarian but also for Royals who have been struggling to find a place in the playoffs. Picked for 8.4 crores this season, Unadkat managed only 10 wickets at an unusually expensive economy rate of 10.66, and he has only thrice conceded less than 9 an over.

Working his pants off, as he said, did no good to him as he remained a chink in the Royals bowling armory. Having failed to justify his price in successive editions, the Royal management might start to look at altering their bowling attack and purchase a stronger bowler for the 13th edition of the league.

3. Varun Chakravarthy &#8211; INR 8.4 Crore

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-333181" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Varun-Chakravarthy.jpg" alt="Varun Chakravarthy" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-333181" class="wp-caption-text">Varun Chakravarthy. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

A unique bowling action resembling Sri Lanka’s spinner Ajanta Mendis has led the TNPL breed, Varun Chakravarthy to attain an inexplicable tag strapped around him. While his abundance of varieties, brought him fame and fortune in the TNPL, the leg spinner couldn’t duplicate his performances to become the talk of the town in the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League.

In the spinner’s defense, a shoulder injury did keep him out of the playing XI for the initial phase of the tournament, nevertheless, when back in action, Chakravarthy never in his wildest dreams imagined himself being hit for 25 runs when Sunil Narine smashed his deliveries out of the park which resulted in the worst debut over in IPL history.

He was eventually ruled out of the tournament, but this seems to be a deep dent to heal as KXIP would be after some fresh legs this auction to upgrade their bowling efficiency, leading to the mystery man to lose his franchise.

4. Barinder Sran &#8211; INR 3.4 Crore

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-222182" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Barinder-Sran-of-India.jpg" alt="Barinder Sran of India" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-222182" class="wp-caption-text">Barinder Sran. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Often regarded as the young Zaheer Khan of Punjab, Barinder Sran has had quite a history with the game. From going unsold and not getting an IPL contract to impressing Rahul Dravid to earn an IPL call-up, the boxy left-handed bowler has never experienced an extraordinary IPL outing.

Bought for a considerably high sum of 3.4 crores, the pacer never managed to exceed the expectations of the champions of the 12th edition and remained expensive and wicketless in both of his outings. Instead of being a worthy replacement for his Australian counterpart, Jason Behrendoff, he rather became the target link for the opposition in the Mumbai Indians bowling lineup.

Leaking runs to all four corners, he ended his season with an economy rate of over 12 runs in two matches, which led to the team to make changes in their squad to make up for their weak link. This would certainly not interest the newly-appointed bowling coach, Shane Bond who would aim at building a fiery bowling army that would take the field as the defending champions in the 2020 IPL.

5. Prabhsimran Singh &#8211; INR 4.8 Crore

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-301927" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Prabh-Simran-Singh.jpg" alt="Prabhsimran Singh" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-301927" class="wp-caption-text">Prabhsimran Singh. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

It’s not an everyday thing to see a teenager steal limelight, and it’s even rare to see them strapped with a whopping price tag. This never seemed to surprise Prabhsimran Singh, a 17-year-old wicketkeeper from Patiala, who stole the show during the intense IPL 2019 bidding war. Glimpses of his talent were recognized by the public when he had scored a 35 ball 65 in U19 Asia Cup finals.

However, the wicketkeeper never proved himself to be a valuable pick for the Punjab Lions. Being an inexperienced player, the Punjab management not only disallowed him to explore himself as a specialist batsman but not being behind the wickets due to the presence of KL Rahul, led to his wicketkeeping talent to go unnoticed.

He managed to score just 16 runs at a strike rate of 94.11 in the one opportunity he was provided. An enormous 4.8 crores for a match would have created a hole in the financial purse of the franchise who would surely not want to make similar mistakes in this year’s auction.

These expensive players couldn't do much in IPL 2019.

5 Expensive players in IPL 2019 who might be released ahead of IPL 2020 Auction

Here is a probable list of 5 players who might be released in the IPL 2020 Auction - During this process, several players fail to do justice to their bided
