Players who might not be retained in IPL 2021 auction
Franchises can either purchase, or even repurchase those candidates to further bolster their squads.
6. Rajasthan Royals, Jaydev Unadkat
RR’s love-hate relationship with Jaydev Unadkat has stretched on for two seasons now. Every year, the team purchases him from the auction pool at an exorbitant price; only to release him, and later, reinstate him at a lower price.
But it looks like the Saurashtra left-arm-quick might have finally reached the end of his rope. Unadkat hasn’t entirely disappointed on the wicket-taking front; across 33-games, the Southpaw has picked up 25-wickets.
What works against him, though, are his un-economical returns; in each of his three seasons, Unadkat has conceded more than nine runs per over. His tendency to go for runs has cost RR games. Most recently, he bowled a game-changing 25-run over against RCB, which cost them an almost unassailable match. With the presence of young guns like Kartik Tyagi and Akash Singh in the side, his torrid time at RR seems to have finally reached an end.
