The first trade window of the Indian Premier League (IPL) expires in mid-November and teams have already started making the moves. The process initiated with Royal Challengers Banglore trading Protea wicket-keeper <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-mi-buy-quinton-de-kock-from-rcb-in-an-off-season-deal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quinton de Kock</a> to Mumbai Indians.

Earlier, the reports also suggested that Kings XI Punjab traded the all-rounder Marcus Stoinis to pick Mandeep Singh from the RCB. There were rumours of Sunrisers Hyderabad having emitted <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/india-vs-windies-keemo-paul-mocks-shikhar-dhawans-thigh-five-celebration-after-picking-his-wicket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shikhar Dhawan</a> to Mumbai Indians. However, an official of SRH confirmed that they haven&#8217;t taken the decision about it yet.

Meanwhile, the three-time champions, Mumbai Indians would be hoping to avail the services of Shikhar to strengthen their batting at the top, with Rohit Sharma already holding the position currently. They might also like to rope in a few more players ahead of the IPL auction.

Mumbai managed to win just six matches while lost eight in the previous edition and ended fifth in the points table. Some star appearances failed to produce performances and owners might take a call by releasing a few of them.

Here we take a look at the players who the franchise might release:

Having amassed over 8000 runs and 255 wickets in T20 cricket, the Carribean all-rounder, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cpl-2018-kieron-pollard-whacks-devendra-bishoo-30-runs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kieron Pollard</a> is still one of the dangerous shorter-format players in the world. He is known for hitting those big sixes and breaking partnerships at regular intervals with his medium pace bowling.

However, none of this has been witnessed in the recent past as the 31-year-old is struggling with his form. Pollard finished IPL 2018 with miserable numbers, scoring 133 runs and bowling only occasionally in the nine matches. He continued his unimpressive run in the Carrabian Premier League (CPL) as well. His exclusion from Mumbai Indians is on the cards as they might try to use the pursue in the IPL auction.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-211866" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/JP-Duminy.jpg" alt="JP Duminy" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-211866" class="wp-caption-text">JP Duminy. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

The South African all-rounder Jean-Paul Duminy too had a forgettable last edition of IPL. He made mere 36 runs in six matches under the strike-rate of 90. The southpaw occasionally bowls off-spin but also went wicketless in IPL 2018.

Duminy, 34, has been around for Proteas for quite a long time. He owns above 5000 ODI runs while is less than 150 runs to complete 2000-mark in the T20Is as well. However, the left-hander faced a number of injuries and currently has ruled out of the action for the next few months which might urge Mumbai to release him.

The Cape Town-based cricketer has made just two fifty-plus scores in his last 10 ODIs and Mumbai Indians might acquit him and later buy somebody like Shai Hope in the auction.

Windies&#8217; aggressive opener, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/explosive-windies-batsman-evin-lewis-declines-central-contract/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Evin Lewis</a> was bought for a whopping amount of Rs 3.8 Crores and the swashbuckling left-hander failed to live up to the expectations. He could play only a couple of significant knocks for MI and more often than not returned to the hut early.

The 26-year-old though has over 500 T20I and 1010 ODI runs, including two centuries each in both the formats. Lewis is quite lethal at the top once he gets going and glimpses of that were witnessed in IPL 2018 as well. Releasing him would be a tough call for Mumbai Indians, but with Quinton de Kock already in the side, there is a possibility that the franchise might let him go.
