IPL 2021: Unused XI of the tournament

The Indian Premier League has been an integral part of every fan’s calendar. For the last two years, mostly the tournament has been conducted in the UAE. This time, fans have witnessed the re-emergence of the Chennai Super Kings.

During the thirteenth edition of the IPL, they failed to make it to the playoffs for the first time. The franchise and the fans were disappointed. Everyone had thought that they need mega auctions to change things around. 

Well, they did, and this time, CSK was not the only team. KKR too became a powerhouse. Adding on, RCB utilized Maxwell excellently. However, few talented players were unused. They might, however, find themselves in a different franchise. Let us have a look at the unused IPL of the tournament-

Unused XI of IPL 2021

1. Shreevats Goswami (wicketkeeper)

The winner of the inaugural Emerging Player of the Tournament award, Shreevats Goswami had a brilliant U19 World Cup in 2008. But, since then, he failed to capitalize on his talent as a poor form both with the bat and gloves meant that, he had to sit out of the IPL circuit from 2013 to 2017.

 He has been a regular member of the domestic circuit. But, a national call-up became a far-fetched dream for Goswami. Since 2018, he has been a part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad but Saha’s presence meant that he had to warm the benches. 

 In the 2018 season of the IPL, he scored 52 runs in 6 innings. Later on, in 2020, he was not off the mark even once. With the addition of two new teams, everyone is hoping to see more of Goswami.
