The 14th Edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has witnessed 20 matches so far. This season, the bottom-ranked teams like Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) would want to make the most of the opportunity. RR has been dealt with several blows with four of their overseas players Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, Liam Livingstone, and Andrew Tye ruled out of the tournament.
As per the IPL guidelines, the Indian Premier League transfer window is now open for the trading players. The window opened on April 26 and will last till May 23. During the transfer window, franchises can sell, loan trade players to the other franchises provided the players give their consent to be part of the other franchise.
Any player who has played less than three matches (either in the playing XI or as a concussion substitute) will be eligible to be a part of the IPL mid-season transfer window.
Look at some players who could participate in the Mid-season transfer window-
Ajinkya Rahane is a solid top-order batsman and could be loaned by the Royals. As he only played two matches for the Delhi Capitals this season.
Robin Uthappa: The Rajasthan Royals have already made a request to the Chennai Super Kings to get the services of Robin Uthappa in their team.
Jimmy Neesham: As MI already has three pacers in their ranks, so Neesham wouldn’t get a game. Therefore, Rajasthan Royals could eye this overseas cricketer with them being left with just four currently.
Sam Billings has not got a lot of opportunities at the Capitals because of captain Rishabh Pant. He could come in handy for PBKS and an option that could be looked at.
Ishan Porel is an Indian pacer, could add value to the Rajasthan Royals’ side.
