IPL 2021: Team-wise one player who might be playing last season
Players that might not get a chance in IPL in further editions.
3. Punjab Kings – Moises Henriques
Moises Henriques, who has been a very accomplishing name in the history of the BBL was last seen playing an IPL game in 2017. The Aussie all-rounder who is now bagged by the Punjab Kings is mainly a like-to-like replacement to what Jimmy Neesham had served for the team in IPL 2020. However, when it comes to accommodating him in the playing XI, the PBKS camp will then have to break their frontline overseas chain of Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Chris Jordan, and Jhye Richardson.
The idea of bagging Henriques was not just to have him as a reserve player, but also to fill in the gap in the lower-middle order, in case if the void gets bigger. Most probably, if the mentioned front-line overseas chain of PBKS gets reward, then someone like Henriques will mainly have to warm benches. The 34-year old Australian is a very unpopular proposition in the IPL who in order to have a prolonged IPL life, need to perform highly well in the IPL 2021.
To turn out an exuberant proposition, warming benches in the PBKS camp is surely not a positive sign for Moises Henriques as in the coming IPL editions, the all-rounder might face identity crises. All in all, just to make himself afloat at least on thin ice, Henriques will definitely have to make the most of what’s available in the IPL 2021, otherwise, in the next IPL season, his chances of getting bagged might become even bleak.
