IPL 2019: Here is how each team can deal with the exodus of overseas players

#7 Chennai Super Kings

Sam Billings can be a very handy option in the middle overs.

Chennai Super Kings are in a very strong position to qualify for the playoffs. But they will be affected by the departure of their leading wicket-taker Imran Tahir, who has been a great asset for them. South African captain Faf du Plessis will also be leaving the defending champions. CSK can turn to Karn Sharma, who is also a very handy leg-spinner, while Mithcell Santner can provide the big hits down the order as a replacement for Du Plessis.

#8 Royal Challengers Bangalore

Moeen Ali has been in good form of late for RCB.

Royal Challengers Bangalore are placed at the bottom of the points table and have to win all of their remaining matches to have any chance of qualifying for the playoffs. However, they would have to accomplish that without their in-form all-rounder Moeen Ali, who will be playing his last game against the Kings XI Punjab tonight. Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis will also head home for national duties shortly. RCB can replace Stoinis with Kiwi all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme, while Shimron Hetmyer can slot in the middle order for the departing Ali.
