IPL 2020: 5 players who could be released and bought back by their teams

#1 Suresh Raina

Suresh Raina has waned in recent IPL seasons.

Suresh Raina's value has dropped considerably over the last couple of years. He has been dropped from the Indian team and is pretty much out of the reckoning for a place in the squad. His performances in the IPL have also not been at the same level as we have come to expect from a player like him. Raina only scored 383 runs in 17 games at a poor strike rate of 122.

He was at fault for their loss in the final, scoring a mere eight runs in 14 balls. He also lost Chennai Super Kings review in the match and it pretty much summed up his entire season. Raina was retained for ₹11 crore, the same amount that RCB paid to retain AB De Villiers.

Stephen Fleming might not want to release their star man as it would cause a lot of backlash from their fans. Moreover, CSK has always been loyal to their players and hence, they might not want to part ways with him completely. His value might not exceed ₹5-6 crore and they can use the remaining balance to buy replacements for the likes of Imran Tahir and Shane Watson who may or may not play next season.
