IPL 2021: Team-wise one player who might be playing last season

8. Mumbai Indians – Saurabh Tiwary

In a strong franchise like MI, where even the reserve players are well thought and picked, it’s hard to pick a player who might play his last IPL season. Most of MI’s front-line cricketers are high-class IPL players and even the reserve ones do carry forward the team’s overall embellishment. Hence, to eventually pick a player someone like Saurabh Tiwary only looks the closest candidate.

Although, because of the high demand of Indian players, normally cricketers like Saurabh Tiwary do eventually find an IPL franchise, in terms of growing their IPL career, such players do endure a strenuous struggle. It was long back in 2010 when Saurabh Tiwary, had made big headlines by representing MI, but since then, hasn’t capitalized on opportunities to advance in his IPL career.

Since IPL 2012, Saurabh Tiwary has featured in five IPL seasons and has merely played 34 IPL games.  In terms of runs, he has only managed to go past the figure of 500 and averages in the early 20s. With such underwhelming numbers, Tiwary’s batting has hardly been a talking point which eventually might make him get abstained in future IPL season. All in all, with the obnoxious nature of the IPL auctions, maybe Tiwary might play his last IPL season in 2021.
