The cricketing fraternity is fresh from a humdinger of white-ball series between England and Australia. And there is no stopping for the cricket fans as the Indian Premier League is knocking on their doors. The 13th season is finally going on the floor after a delay of almost six months. As expected, there are some changes in the tournament, and the major one is that this year UAE will be hosting the event.

The action-packed tournament will also see several of the cricketers return to their comfort zone. It will be a kind of new start for some of them, as they have not been playing the game for a long time. There are certain cricketers who will be playing this season without much cricket behind them in the last 12 months. They might need time to get into their zone in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2020-match-1-mumbai-indians-vs-chennai-super-kings-cricket-match-prediction-who-will-win-the-match/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">IPL 2020</a>.

Here is the list of 5 IPL 2020 stars who have played the least number of cricket games since the last season:

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-328576" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Ambati-Rayudu.jpg" alt="Ambati Rayudu" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-328576" class="wp-caption-text">Ambati Rayudu.

The love for the game can even change your stance on retirement. After announcing his departure from the game owing to his exclusion from the 2019 World Cup squad, Ambati Rayudu returned to the game in 45 days. At 34, the Hyderabad cricketer has still not given up his hope for making an international comeback. Till then, one can enjoy him in the Chennai outfit in the IPL.

Rayudu has been a consistent performer of this league. It can be validated from his last two IPL seasons, where he led the middle-order of CSK. Especially in 2018, his 600 run-tally guided the team to their 3rd title. Then in the 2019 edition, his form dipped, but he managed to gather 300 runs. Now this year, in the absence of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/stats-suresh-raina-the-true-chennai-super-king/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Suresh Raina</a>, more things will be expected from him.

Unfortunately, his lack of time in the middle might work against him. In the last 12 months, Rayudu has occasionally played the game. To be precise, he has represented Hyderabad 14 times and is the only cricket he has played since the 2019 IPL. In that also he hasn&#8217;t scored many runs. Then he skipped the Ranji Trophy due to his fall out with Hyderabad cricket. So now, it might be an uphill task for him to play consistently at the top level in IPL 2020.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-330619" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Sunil-Narine-1.jpg" alt="Sunil Narine" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-330619" class="wp-caption-text">Sunil Narine.

It is wonderful to see that Sunil Narine is still outfoxing a lot of batsmen with his mystique. Since his debut, the Caribbean spinner has been one of the top-most cricketers in the T20 format. He has been weaving his magic in several T20 leagues around the world. Even in the IPL, he has been the pivot of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-when-andre-russell-and-shah-rukh-khan-were-overwhelmed-by-kolkatas-love-and-support/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kolkata&#8217;s </a>bowling attack.

Such has been his impact that his bowling credentials have paved the way for multiple championships for Kolkata Knight Riders. In the 2019 IPL also, he turned out to be their second-leading wicket-taker in the tournament. Although he accounted for only 10 wickets, Narine made sure that the opposition never ran away with the game. His economy rate of 7.8 proves the point.

However, things might be more difficult for him in the IPL 2020. He has been inactive for the most part of the last 12 months. He missed the 2019 World Cup owing to a finger injury. Thereafter, he did play the T20I series against India but wasn&#8217;t at his best. Then his finger problem again resurfaced in the 2019 CPL, and he only made his return a month ago in the 2020 CPL. In all, he has played a total of 14 games after his 2019 IPL stint.

(Photo: Surjeet Yadav/IANS)</figcaption>

From the last two years, Hardik Pandya has become a prominent figure in Indian cricket. His all-round skills have given that elusive balance to the Blue team. And with each passing day, he is raising the bar of his game. It has been a similar story for him in the IPL, where now he is the backbone of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2020-gautam-gambhir-aakash-chopra-and-other-experts-pick-the-contenders-for-playoffs-mumbai-indians-stand-out/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mumbai Indians</a> team.

In the 2019 IPL, he played a significant role in leading the Mumbai franchise to their 4th title. Pandya smoked over 400 runs at a belligerent strike rate of 190. He also scalped 14 wickets with his ever-growing bowling prowess. Hence the Rohit Sharma&#8217;s men will be again banking on him in the IPL 2020.

But this time Hardik might struggle to get going from the first match itself. He will be a little rusty as he has not played much cricket in the last year or so. Due to his back surgery and the following lengthy rehabilitation, he missed a lot of cricket after the 2019 World Cup. His last competitive game was against South Africa in September 2019. In fact, he has played only 11 games since the 2019 IPL.

A month ago, when MS Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket, fans became emotional. They bid adieu to one of the biggest superstars of the Indian cricket history with a heavy heart. It also meant that they will never get to see him again in the blue jersey. But there is some relief for them as they will be seeing him in the Yellow jersey soon.

By the looks of it, Dhoni has still unfinished business in the IPL. He was in great touch in the 2019 edition, where he looked his old self with his match-winning knocks. He gathered close to 500 runs, the third-best season for him in terms of runs. So the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2020-match-1-mumbai-indians-vs-chennai-super-kings-cricket-match-prediction-who-will-win-the-match/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chennai Super Kings </a>will be hoping that his form continues in this season too.

Except it will not be easy for him this time around, as Captain Cool has been on a long vacation from the game. His last appearance came in India&#8217;s 2019 World Cup semi-final loss. Then he pulled out of a couple of tours, citing his commitments to the Indian Army. He was supposed to return to the now postponed T20 World Cup, but that plan also failed. The only game time he has got after the 2019 IPL is the 9 games he played in the last year&#8217;s World Cup.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-327628" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Mohit-Sharma.jpg" alt="Mohit Sharma" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-327628" class="wp-caption-text">Mohit Sharma. (Photo Source: IANS)</figcaption>

When India reached the semi-finals in the 2015 World Cup, everybody started praising the team&#8217;s pace attack. One of the members of that group was Mohit Sharma. At the time, the Haryana pacer made a name for himself with his skilful bowling. However, it all started for him in the IPL from where his cricketing journey took its flight.

Sharma spent his first few years with the Chennai Super Kings. There he became the trusted ally of their fast-bowling unit, and in the second IPL season itself, he won the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/3-uncapped-indian-bowlers-who-can-win-purple-cap-in-ipl-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Purple Cap</a>. Thereafter, in 2016, he switched to the Punjab team and led the charges of their bowling attack for 3 years. Fast forward to IPL 2020, now he will be seen in the dressing room of Delhi Capitals.

There is no doubt Mohit is a versatile pacer and that&#8217;s why Delhi bagged him in the auctions. But they have done it without considering any factors. For instance, the pacer last played a cricket game way back in April 2019. And its in the 2019 IPL where he represented Chennai in the only game of his season. In short, its been over 16 months since Mohit bowled a ball in any sort of a competitive cricket match.

The cricketing fraternity is fresh from a humdinger of white-ball series between England and Australia. And there is no stopping for the cricket fans as the Indian Premier League is knocking on their doors. The 13th season is finally going on the floor after a delay of almost six months. As expected, there are some changes in the tournament, and the major one is that this year UAE will be hosting the event.

It is wonderful to see that Sunil Narine is still outfoxing a lot of batsmen with his mystique. Since his debut, the Caribbean spinner has been one of the top-most cricketers in the T20 format. He has been weaving his magic in several T20 leagues around the world. Even in the IPL, he has been the pivot of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-when-andre-russell-and-shah-rukh-khan-were-overwhelmed-by-kolkatas-love-and-support/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kolkata&#8217;s </a>bowling attack.
Such has been his impact that his bowling credentials have paved the way for multiple championships for Kolkata Knight Riders. In the 2019 IPL also, he turned out to be their second-leading wicket-taker in the tournament. Although he accounted for only 10 wickets, Narine made sure that the opposition never ran away with the game. His economy rate of 7.8 proves the point.
However, things might be more difficult for him in the IPL 2020. He has been inactive for the most part of the last 12 months. He missed the 2019 World Cup owing to a finger injury. Thereafter, he did play the T20I series against India but wasn&#8217;t at his best. Then his finger problem again resurfaced in the 2019 CPL, and he only made his return a month ago in the 2020 CPL. In all, he has played a total of 14 games after his 2019 IPL stint.

In the 2019 IPL, he played a significant role in leading the Mumbai franchise to their 4th title. Pandya smoked over 400 runs at a belligerent strike rate of 190. He also scalped 14 wickets with his ever-growing bowling prowess. Hence the Rohit Sharma&#8217;s men will be again banking on him in the IPL 2020.
But this time Hardik might struggle to get going from the first match itself. He will be a little rusty as he has not played much cricket in the last year or so.

A month ago, when MS Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket, fans became emotional. They bid adieu to one of the biggest superstars of the Indian cricket history with a heavy heart. It also meant that they will never get to see him again in the blue jersey. But there is some relief for them as they will be seeing him in the Yellow jersey soon.
By the looks of it, Dhoni has still unfinished business in the IPL. He was in great touch in the 2019 edition, where he looked his old self with his match-winning knocks. He gathered close to 500 runs, the third-best season for him in terms of runs. So the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2020-match-1-mumbai-indians-vs-chennai-super-kings-cricket-match-prediction-who-will-win-the-match/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chennai Super Kings </a>will be hoping that his form continues in this season too.
Except it will not be easy for him this time around, as Captain Cool has been on a long vacation from the game. His last appearance came in India&#8217;s 2019 World Cup semi-final loss. Then he pulled out of a couple of tours, citing his commitments to the Indian Army. He was supposed to return to the now postponed T20 World Cup, but that plan also failed. The only game time he has got after the 2019 IPL is the 9 games he played in the last year&#8217;s World Cup.

<h3>1. Mohit Sharma &#8211; 0 games</h3>

When India reached the semi-finals in the 2015 World Cup, everybody started praising the team&#8217;s pace attack. One of the members of that group was Mohit Sharma. At the time, the Haryana pacer made a name for himself with his skilful bowling. However, it all started for him in the IPL from where his cricketing journey took its flight.
Sharma spent his first few years with the Chennai Super Kings. There he became the trusted ally of their fast-bowling unit, and in the second IPL season itself, he won the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/3-uncapped-indian-bowlers-who-can-win-purple-cap-in-ipl-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Purple Cap</a>. Thereafter, in 2016, he switched to the Punjab team and led the charges of their bowling attack for 3 years. Fast forward to IPL 2020, now he will be seen in the dressing room of Delhi Capitals.
There is no doubt Mohit is a versatile pacer and that&#8217;s why Delhi bagged him in the auctions. But they have done it without considering any factors. For instance, the pacer last played a cricket game way back in April 2019. And its in the 2019 IPL where he represented Chennai in the only game of his season. In short, its been over 16 months since Mohit bowled a ball in any sort of a competitive cricket match.

The action-packed tournament will also see several of the cricketers return to their comfort zone. It will be a kind of new start for some of them, as they have not been playing the game for a long time.
