5 underutilized players who should be released ahead of IPL 2020
IPL franchises aren't properly using these players and it would be good if they release them.
2. Siddhesh Lad (Mumbai Indians)
Son of Mumbai-based coach, Dinesh Lad, Siddhesh Lad has been a constant scorer for Mumbai in domestic cricket ever since he made his debut. In what was a forgettable Ranji Trophy season for Mumbai, Lad one of the few shining lights of their campaign.
The right-hander scored 652 runs in seven games at an average of 46.57. Lad has been with the Mumbai Indians set-up since 2015 but in the past four seasons, the right-hander has turned out in his franchise colors only once (in 2019).
With MI already boasting of the likes of Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard in the middle-order, it looks unlikely that Lad will be getting chances on a consistent basis within the Mumbai Indians set-up. If MI does go on and release Lad, the right-hander could come in as handy pick for teams like KXIP, who have perennially struggled with their middle-order.
