More than 15 matches have been completed in the 2021 IPL. We have had some exciting games where more than 200 runs have been scored by both the teams and even some low-scoring affairs where teams have struggled to chase down 150. The Mumbai and Chennai leg will be completed this week and the action now shifts to two new venues- Delhi and Ahmedabad.

Teams like RCB have had a flurry of wins and have looked dominating. On the other hand, teams like RR and KKR have been struggling to click together. Many teams look settled with their playing XI and others like PBKS are yet to find their perfect XI.

The teams with settled XIs may not look to change many things. They will stick to the winning combination and swap a player or two at maximum depending on the playing conditions.

Thus, their substitutes won’t get a lot of opportunities going forward in the tournament. Such players can be traded in the mid-season transfer window to other teams who might be struggling to get a player for a specific role.

Here, we list 5 players who can be transferred to other teams in the mid-season transfer window of IPL 2021:

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-453481" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Narayan-Jagadeesan.jpg" alt="Narayan Jagadeesan" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-453481" class="wp-caption-text">Narayan Jagadeesan.

Names like Devdutt Padikkal and Prithvi Shaw come to the fore when talking about young players performing well in domestic Indian leagues. However, one name that goes unnoticed is Narayan Jagadeesan. The wicketkeeper-batsman from Tamil Nadu has been scoring runs consistently in the domestic circuit.

Firstly, he grabbed the limelight for his impressive show in the first season of the Tamil Nadu Premier League in 2016. Around that time, he also made his first-class debut. Playing over the years, he is now a regular part of the Tamil Nadu domestic team.

Jagadeesan was also the leading run-scorer in the recently-concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy where he scored 364 runs in eight games. He made his IPL debut last year for CSK but did not get many chances. With the wicket-keeping duties already taken up by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crictracker/posts/4310549685642386" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni</a>, he is unlikely to get a lot of chances.

Also, MS Dhoni doesn’t like to make a lot of changes in the team combination, thus he might not get a chance as a pure batsman too. Hence, he can be traded to teams struggling with their batting like SRH, where he can unleash his potential.

The English wicketkeeper-batsman is a part of the Delhi Capitals currently. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/someone-is-not-hitting-rishabh-pant-trolls-sam-billings-in-delhi-capitals-training-session/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sam Billings</a> has also been a part of England’s limited-overs squad for a long time now. Despite being a regular part of the squad, he has not been able to cement his spot because of the strong English side.

In the IPL he made his debut in 2016 for Delhi and scored fifty on debut. He was a part of the Capitals for two seasons, before, moving to Chennai in 2018. He produced few good knocks there but could not grab the limelight because of CSK’s already star-studded squad. He was picked by his original franchise Delhi again this year after he went unsold in the first round of the auction.

Billings has played 187 T20 matches in all and has scored more than 3500 runs. The Capitals usually depend more on their Indian core of players to win their matches. As a result, their four foreign players are also usually the same.

With captain Rishabh Pant taking the keeping responsibilities, Billings is unlikely to get an opportunity in the playing XI. Thus, he can be traded to RR or PBKS where he can provide stability to the middle-order.

Tim Seifert was in the talks recently for his sensational hitting in T20 cricket. The 26-year-old Kiwi is, naturally, an aggressive opening batsman. He made his T20 international debut in 2019 and has scored 695 runs in 35 T20Is for New Zealand.

Seifert plays for the Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League. Following his convincing performances for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/how-sikandar-raza-took-6-flights-to-join-tkr-team-in-cpl-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TKR</a>, he was bought by the sister franchise, the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. He joined the Riders last season but has not made his IPL debut yet because of the big overseas names in their squad already present.

KKR already have an Indian wicket-keeping backup option in Sheldon Jackson and Seifert is unlikely to get a chance in the XI as a pure batsman. Thus, he can prove to be a game-changer for a franchise needing an overseas batsman.

The young pacer has been performing really well in the domestic circuit playing for Bengal and also India A. Ishan Porel was a part of the World Cup-winning Indian U-19 squad of 2018. He formed a pace-bowling trio with <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2020-superman-ms-dhoni-defies-age-pulls-off-a-magical-catch-to-dismiss-shivam-mavi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shivam Mavi</a> and Kamlesh Nagarkoti in the playing XI.

In the recently concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Porel was in good rhythm as picked 13 wickets in five matches. He was also among the top five wicket-takers of the tournament and bowled at an average of 10.85. Standing tall at 6’3, Porel bowls some sharp bouncers, an ability which not many possess.

He was picked by the Punjab Kings in 2020 at his base price of INR 20 lakhs. However, Porel has not made his IPL debut yet. Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh have secured their positions and Porel might not get a debut even this season. He might have a good season if traded to RR who need a genuine Indian pacer.

The Kiwi all-rounder has grown over the years as a reliable choice in T20 cricket. James Neesham is a decent medium pacer who can give a few overs to his captain also finish the innings strongly batting down the order. He is a regular part of the New Zealand limited-overs squads and has substantial international experience.

He has played 29 T20Is for New Zealand, where he has scored 324 runs at a strike rate north of 155. He has also taken 18 wickets in T20Is, with the best figures of 3/16. He was first picked in the IPL by Delhi in 2014 followed by KKR in the next season.

Last year he played for the Punjab Kings but did not put up any great performances. But his consistent performances for the Kiwis earned him a contract from MI this year.

However, Mumbai already has three genuine allrounders in the Pandya brothers and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2021-kieron-pollard-comes-up-with-a-cryptic-tweet-after-facing-heat-for-mankading-controversy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kieron Pollard</a>. Thus, he might not get many games in the season and can be traded to teams like RR, who are in need of a good overseas player.
