The IPL franchises often release players to refresh their squad and make necessary course corrections. These discarded players, with big reputations and high price tags, are often thrown into the same basket with out-of-form stars and blocked domestic talent. However, this discarded XI can transform into a formidable team that could challenge many established squads in the league.
Led by Quinton de Kock, this team boasts a strong top order with the likes of Mayank Agarwal and Rahul Tripathi. The middle order is anchored by explosive overseas players Glenn Maxwell and Andre Russell, who can change the course of a game single-handedly. Abhinav Manohar adds versatility as a floater in the lineup.
The bowling attack relies on specialists like Matheesha Pathirana and Akash Madhwal for death-over skills, while Ravi Bishnoi leads the spin department. Young talent Vignesh Puthur serves as the impact substitute.
Overall, this released XI showcases the depth of talent available in the IPL and could give nightmares to many teams in the league with their potential and skills.
