Indian Premier League (IPL) has a great significance for every cricketer. Most Indian rookie cricketers look up to IPL for a golden chance to fast track their way into the Indian side. Apart from getting a better chance to play for your country, it provides a great platform to earn money for the budding players as well.

The difference between the pay scale of Indian domestic cricket and IPL is exactly equal to the distinction between the level of competition. An IPL playing eleven hardly has a place for an uncapped player, if it has, it will be for a solitary player or a maximum two in unusual cases. With several cricketers waiting to grab that opportunity, the chance of getting a game becomes very tough. It leads to a lot of players sitting in the dugout for the entire tournament.

As per the rules in IPL, only four overseas players can play in a playing eleven. Those four players are chosen on the basis of the balance of the squad. Due to this condition, a lot of players remain on the sidelines and spend the entire exhibition in the dressing room itself.

Let&#8217;s look at team-wise one player who might not get a single game:

Sunrisers Hyderabad has done exceptionally well in the last few seasons, they won the title in 2016 and finished as runner-up in 2018. The core of the team highly relies on overseas players. David Warner, Rashid Khan, Johnny Bairstow, and Kane Williamson are few of the most important faces of the squad. With <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/mohammad-nabis-form-might-put-kane-williamsons-place-in-danger-at-srh-aakash-chopra/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Mohammad Nabi</strong></a> in the squad as well, it looks quite difficult for them to fit in Fabian Allen.

Allen is a Caribbean allrounder with the potential to hit big shots. However, with solid middle-order options in terms of Manish Pandey and Vijay Shankar, Allen&#8217;s chances of making the eleven appear difficult. Allen featured for the Windies side in the 2014 Under 19 World Cup.

The Hyderabad franchise has gone back to their title-winning captain, David Warner this time. The Jamaican cricketer only has a chance in case of an injury or if the team looks to experiment with their line-up. With the level of excitement and panic, the extravaganza creates, it could be said that Fabian Allen might not get a single game this season.

Tushar Deshpande is a budding cricketer from Mumbai. The 25-year-old bowler made the headlines when he decided to go for his club cricket match instead of accepting an invitation for an IPL trial. He was asked to come for a trial for Kings XI Punjab in October 2018 but the pacer decided to follow the unusual path as he went on to play for his club team.

In an interview last year with TOI, the cricketer said, “I’ve never gone for trials with an IPL team. Earlier too, Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals called me for trials. I believe that if I’m giving my 100% in the matches that I’m playing in, why should I give trials? There’s nothing that I’ll gain by giving these trials. If I bowl well in the matches that I’m playing in, then someone will obviously pick me.&#8221;

The confidence of the young bowler brought him a contract in 2020. But the pacer might not get a chance to feature in any of the games. Delhi Capitals&#8217; camp is filled with several experienced choices as Ishant Sharma, Harshal Patel, Mohit Sharma and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/kagiso-rabada-picks-batsmen-whom-he-would-have-loved-to-bowl-at-includes-sachin-tendulkar-in-the-list/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Kagiso Rabada</strong> </a>all are set to feature in the line-up. The speedster might utilize this opportunity to get help from highly qualified coaches.

Anuj Rawat is an uncapped wicketkeeper-batsman from Uttarakhand. The 20-year-old cricketer plays for Assam in first-class cricket. He made his name in the domestic circuit the inexperienced player might not get a chance to showcase his talent in the IPL this season. Rajasthan Royals is known to provide a platform for the young cricketers to play in the pressure situations but the team combination doesn&#8217;t allow the inclusion of the southpaw.

The Jaipur based team has Jos Buttler as one of the prime players. The English wicketkeeper is set to feature in all the games this season and an opportunity for any other stumper looks unlikely. Sanju Samson is another keeping option for captain Steve Snith if required. Samson plays as a genuine batsman and has been successful at the top order in the IPL.

The only chance this Uttarakhand lad could get would be as a batsman in the middle order. Though that department of the Royals also looks well equipped as Robin Uthappa, Riyan Parag, and Mahipal Lomror will feature in the line-up already starred by the presence of Steve Smith and Ben Stokes. The budding cricketer might have to wait till the IPL 2021 to showcase his talent in the arguably biggest T20 league.

(Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

The 23-year-old spinner is a product of the Tamil Nadu Premier League. He came into the spotlight with an altercation with Tamil Nadu cricketer Jagadeesan. The slow left-arm orthodox bowler has been one of the highest wicket-takers of the T20 league.

The reason that might lead him to remain on the sidelines is the excess of spin bowling options the Chennai franchise has. With Chennai being their home ground the team led by former Indian Captain <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/mahendra-singh-dhoni-the-timeless-legend/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Mahendra Singh Dhoni</strong></a> has opted for a lot of spinners. Though the conditions in UAE are spin-friendly the yellow army already has several international spinners.

The team includes Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir, Piyush Chawla, Mitchell Santner, and Ravindra Jadeja. This means that the rookie southpaw might only get a chance in case of an injury. Dhoni is also known as a skipper who hardly changes his team combination and that further diminishes the chances of Kishore getting picked.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-304736" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Harpreet-Brar.jpg" alt="Harpreet Brar" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-304736" class="wp-caption-text">Harpreet Brar. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Harpreet Brar got a few games for the Punjab franchise last year but this year the management and the team combination seem different. The batting allrounder is known to hit some big shots lower down the order with his handy spin bowling an added advantage. Though the young cricketer might learn a lot from the experience of Anil Kumble, the head coach but getting a game seems difficult for him.

Punjab&#8217;s strength lies in KL Rahul and Christ Gayle at the top. But the team&#8217;s batting line seems very heavy lower down the order as well with Glenn Maxwell, Nicholas Pooran and Krishnappa Gowtham appears to start from the first game. With Gowtham added as the spin-bowling allrounder, Brar looks like a makeshift option only.

In terms of front line spinners, Punjab will look to go with Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Murugan Ashwin with all-rounders chipping in. This combination makes it very unlikely for KL Rahul to go for Brar instead of the experienced choices.

Kolkata Knight Riders will be looking to win their 3rd title this season. The team is owned by Superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Dinesh Karthik is the captain. Kolkata has been one of the most popular franchises of the tournament and the team is known to have a very solid playing eleven.

KKR bought USA pacer, Ali Khan, as their most recent addition to their XI. Khan did exceedingly well in the recently concluded Caribbean Premier League 2020 for Trinbago Knight Riders and he was suddenly drafted into KKR squad for this year&#8217;s cash-rich league.

Ali Khan&#8217;s chances of featuring in the playing eleven seem very difficult with Prasidh, Mavi, Nagarkoti already getting enough chances. The right-hander would be looking to showcase his potential in the biggest exhibition but the chances of him getting a game in UAE this year are very narrow.

7. Pavan Deshpande (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-216405" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Pavan-Deshpande.jpg" alt="Pavan Deshpande" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-216405" class="wp-caption-text">Pavan Deshpande.

Royal Challengers Bangalore bought Pavan Deshpande in the 2018 IPL. The batting allrounder is known for getting some quick runs in the middle overs apart from bowling a bit of spin bowling. The Bangalore franchise is all set to put in their best efforts in order to win their first IPL title. But Deshpande might not get in the process.

The batting department of RCB is highly furnished with Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Aaron Finch at the top order. Devdutt Padikkal and Shivam Dube are the Indian options that will get the chance before the Karnataka lad.

Also with Moeen Ali, Washington Sundar, and Chris Morris in the line-up as all-rounders, chances of Deshpande to get picked become very thin. The rookie player needs to impress the management with his ability in the nets to get an opportunity in the middle. Though with the extreme pressure of not having a single title under their belt, RCB will not look to a tinker the combination.

Mumbai Indians is the most successful IPL franchise of all time. The team looks one of the strongest in this season of the tournament as well. The defending champions are known to find some extraordinary talents like Jasprit Bumrah and Pandya brothers, but their international players are also second to none.

Sherfane Rutherford is roped in by the Mumbai franchise through a trade deal with Delhi Capitals. The Caribbean allrounder gives captain Rohit Sharma another option with is pace bowling and ability to hit the long ball lower down the order. But Rutherford might not get an opportunity to illustrate how useful he could be for Mumbai Indians.

The team already has Kieron Pollard and Pandya brothers as all-round options who are quite settled in the team. With a complicated choice to make between Lasith Malinga and Trent Boult, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/mumbai-indians-are-going-to-finish-on-top-brad-hogg-analyzes-mi-squad-ahead-of-ipl-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Mumbai Indians</strong></a> team management will not go for the Caribbean allrounder to change the entire combination.

<p>As per the rules in IPL, only four overseas players can play in a playing eleven. Those four players are chosen on the basis of the balance of the squad. Due to this condition, a lot of players remain on the sidelines and spend the entire exhibition in the dressing room itself.</p>
<h3>Let&#8217;s look at team-wise one player who might not get a single game:</h3>
<h3>1. Fabian Allen (Sunrisers Hyderabad)</h3>

<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad has done exceptionally well in the last few seasons, they won the title in 2016 and finished as runner-up in 2018. The core of the team highly relies on overseas players. David Warner, Rashid Khan, Johnny Bairstow, and Kane Williamson are few of the most important faces of the squad. With <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/mohammad-nabis-form-might-put-kane-williamsons-place-in-danger-at-srh-aakash-chopra/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Mohammad Nabi</strong></a> in the squad as well, it looks quite difficult for them to fit in Fabian Allen.</p>
<p>Allen is a Caribbean allrounder with the potential to hit big shots. However, with solid middle-order options in terms of Manish Pandey and Vijay Shankar, Allen&#8217;s chances of making the eleven appear difficult. Allen featured for the Windies side in the 2014 Under 19 World Cup.</p>
<p>The Hyderabad franchise has gone back to their title-winning captain, David Warner this time. The Jamaican cricketer only has a chance in case of an injury or if the team looks to experiment with their line-up. With the level of excitement and panic, the extravaganza creates, it could be said that Fabian Allen might not get a single game this season.</p>
<h3>2. Tushar Deshpande (Delhi Capitals)</h3>
<figure id="attachment_342521" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-342521" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-342521" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Tushar-Deshpande.jpg" alt="Tushar Deshpande" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-342521" class="wp-caption-text">Tushar Deshpande.

<p>Tushar Deshpande is a budding cricketer from Mumbai. The 25-year-old bowler made the headlines when he decided to go for his club cricket match instead of accepting an invitation for an IPL trial. He was asked to come for a trial for Kings XI Punjab in October 2018 but the pacer decided to follow the unusual path as he went on to play for his club team.</p>
<p>In an interview last year with TOI, the cricketer said, “I’ve never gone for trials with an IPL team. Earlier too, Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals called me for trials. I believe that if I’m giving my 100% in the matches that I’m playing in, why should I give trials? There’s nothing that I’ll gain by giving these trials. If I bowl well in the matches that I’m playing in, then someone will obviously pick me.&#8221;</p>
<p>The confidence of the young bowler brought him a contract in 2020. But the pacer might not get a chance to feature in any of the games. Delhi Capitals&#8217; camp is filled with several experienced choices as Ishant Sharma, Harshal Patel, Mohit Sharma and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/kagiso-rabada-picks-batsmen-whom-he-would-have-loved-to-bowl-at-includes-sachin-tendulkar-in-the-list/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Kagiso Rabada</strong> </a>all are set to feature in the line-up. The speedster might utilize this opportunity to get help from highly qualified coaches.</p>
<h3>3. Anuj Rawat (Rajasthan Royals)</h3>
<figure id="attachment_270550" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-270550" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-270550" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Anuj-Rawat.jpg" alt="Anuj Rawat" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-270550" class="wp-caption-text">Anuj Rawat. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Anuj Rawat is an uncapped wicketkeeper-batsman from Uttarakhand. The 20-year-old cricketer plays for Assam in first-class cricket. He made his name in the domestic circuit the inexperienced player might not get a chance to showcase his talent in the IPL this season. Rajasthan Royals is known to provide a platform for the young cricketers to play in the pressure situations but the team combination doesn&#8217;t allow the inclusion of the southpaw.</p>
<p>The Jaipur based team has Jos Buttler as one of the prime players. The English wicketkeeper is set to feature in all the games this season and an opportunity for any other stumper looks unlikely. Sanju Samson is another keeping option for captain Steve Snith if required. Samson plays as a genuine batsman and has been successful at the top order in the IPL.</p>
<p>The only chance this Uttarakhand lad could get would be as a batsman in the middle order. Though that department of the Royals also looks well equipped as Robin Uthappa, Riyan Parag, and Mahipal Lomror will feature in the line-up already starred by the presence of Steve Smith and Ben Stokes. The budding cricketer might have to wait till the IPL 2021 to showcase his talent in the arguably biggest T20 league.</p>
<h3>4. Sai Kishore (Chennai Super Kings)</h3>
<figure id="attachment_383671" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-383671" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-383671" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/R-Sai-Kishore-and-MS-Dhoni.jpeg" alt="R Sai Kishore and MS Dhoni" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-383671" class="wp-caption-text">R Sai Kishore and MS Dhoni. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>
<p>The 23-year-old spinner is a product of the Tamil Nadu Premier League. He came into the spotlight with an altercation with Tamil Nadu cricketer Jagadeesan. The slow left-arm orthodox bowler has been one of the highest wicket-takers of the T20 league.</p>
<p>The reason that might lead him to remain on the sidelines is the excess of spin bowling options the Chennai franchise has. With Chennai being their home ground the team led by former Indian Captain <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/mahendra-singh-dhoni-the-timeless-legend/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Mahendra Singh Dhoni</strong></a> has opted for a lot of spinners. Though the conditions in UAE are spin-friendly the yellow army already has several international spinners.</p>
<p>The team includes Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir, Piyush Chawla, Mitchell Santner, and Ravindra Jadeja. This means that the rookie southpaw might only get a chance in case of an injury. Dhoni is also known as a skipper who hardly changes his team combination and that further diminishes the chances of Kishore getting picked.</p>
<h3>5. Harpreet Brar (Kings XI Punjab)</h3>
<figure id="attachment_304736" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-304736" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-304736" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Harpreet-Brar.jpg" alt="Harpreet Brar" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-304736" class="wp-caption-text">Harpreet Brar. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Harpreet Brar got a few games for the Punjab franchise last year but this year the management and the team combination seem different. The batting allrounder is known to hit some big shots lower down the order with his handy spin bowling an added advantage. Though the young cricketer might learn a lot from the experience of Anil Kumble, the head coach but getting a game seems difficult for him.</p>
<p>Punjab&#8217;s strength lies in KL Rahul and Christ Gayle at the top. But the team&#8217;s batting line seems very heavy lower down the order as well with Glenn Maxwell, Nicholas Pooran and Krishnappa Gowtham appears to start from the first game. With Gowtham added as the spin-bowling allrounder, Brar looks like a makeshift option only.</p>
<p>In terms of front line spinners, Punjab will look to go with Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Murugan Ashwin with all-rounders chipping in. This combination makes it very unlikely for KL Rahul to go for Brar instead of the experienced choices.</p>
<h3>6. Ali Khan (Kolkata Knight Riders)</h3>
<figure id="attachment_444732" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-444732" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-444732" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Ali-Khan.jpg" alt="Ali Khan" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-444732" class="wp-caption-text">Ali Khan. (Photo by Randy Brooks &#8211; CPL T20/CPL T20 via Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Kolkata Knight Riders will be looking to win their 3rd title this season. The team is owned by Superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Dinesh Karthik is the captain. Kolkata has been one of the most popular franchises of the tournament and the team is known to have a very solid playing eleven.</p>
<p>KKR bought USA pacer, Ali Khan, as their most recent addition to their XI. Khan did exceedingly well in the recently concluded Caribbean Premier League 2020 for Trinbago Knight Riders and he was suddenly drafted into KKR squad for this year&#8217;s cash-rich league.</p>
<p>Ali Khan&#8217;s chances of featuring in the playing eleven seem very difficult with Prasidh, Mavi, Nagarkoti already getting enough chances. The right-hander would be looking to showcase his potential in the biggest exhibition but the chances of him getting a game in UAE this year are very narrow.</p>
<h3>7. Pavan Deshpande (Royal Challengers Bangalore)</h3>
<figure id="attachment_216405" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-216405" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-216405" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Pavan-Deshpande.jpg" alt="Pavan Deshpande" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-216405" class="wp-caption-text">Pavan Deshpande. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Royal Challengers Bangalore bought Pavan Deshpande in the 2018 IPL. The batting allrounder is known for getting some quick runs in the middle overs apart from bowling a bit of spin bowling. The Bangalore franchise is all set to put in their best efforts in order to win their first IPL title. But Deshpande might not get in the process.</p>
<p>The batting department of RCB is highly furnished with Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Aaron Finch at the top order. Devdutt Padikkal and Shivam Dube are the Indian options that will get the chance before the Karnataka lad.</p>
<p>Also with Moeen Ali, Washington Sundar, and Chris Morris in the line-up as all-rounders, chances of Deshpande to get picked become very thin. The rookie player needs to impress the management with his ability in the nets to get an opportunity in the middle. Though with the extreme pressure of not having a single title under their belt, RCB will not look to a tinker the combination.</p>
<h3>8. Sherfane Rutherford (Mumbai Indians)</h3>
<figure id="attachment_331135" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-331135" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-331135" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Sherfane-Rutherford.jpg" alt="Sherfane Rutherford" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-331135" class="wp-caption-text">Sherfane Rutherford. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Mumbai Indians is the most successful IPL franchise of all time. The team looks one of the strongest in this season of the tournament as well. The defending champions are known to find some extraordinary talents like Jasprit Bumrah and Pandya brothers, but their international players are also second to none.</p>
<p>Sherfane Rutherford is roped in by the Mumbai franchise through a trade deal with Delhi Capitals. The Caribbean allrounder gives captain Rohit Sharma another option with is pace bowling and ability to hit the long ball lower down the order. But Rutherford might not get an opportunity to illustrate how useful he could be for Mumbai Indians.</p>
<p>The team already has Kieron Pollard and Pandya brothers as all-round options who are quite settled in the team. With a complicated choice to make between Lasith Malinga and Trent Boult, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/mumbai-indians-are-going-to-finish-on-top-brad-hogg-analyzes-mi-squad-ahead-of-ipl-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Mumbai Indians</strong></a> team management will not go for the Caribbean allrounder to change the entire combination. This makes it extremely doubtful for the all-rounder to feature in any of the games and he might just stay in the dressing room for the entire tournament.</p>

With several cricketers waiting to grab that opportunity, the chance of getting a game for a few players becomes very tough.

IPL 2020: Team-wise one player who might not get a single game

The difference between the pay scale of Indian domestic cricket and IPL is exactly equal to the distinction between the level of competition.
