1. Rohit Sharma

India skipper Rohit Sharma is likely to part ways with Mumbai Indians. With Hardik Pandya leading the side, Rohit will be search of a new team.

2. KL Rahul

Lucknow Super Giants are in search of a new skipper. If rumors are to be believed, then Rahul could be heading to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

BCCI [{ "selector": ".masgb-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 455px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".aszej-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "80%"} ] }]

3. Faf du Plessis

Faf failed to put up a good show with the bat in IPL 2024. As now he is 40 years old, it is likely that the RCB will release him before the auctions.

BCCI [{ "selector": ".ffsfj-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 454px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".ikwwo-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "80%"} ] }]

4. Venkatesh Iyer

Star all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer's exit will be one of the biggest shockers if he gets released by Kolkata Knight Riders. His future with KKR depends on the retention policy.

BCCI [{ "selector": ".eixqo-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 441px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".dxmdi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "80%"} ] }]

5. Kagiso Rabada

Kagiso Rabada is one of the most lethal pacers in the world. However, Punjab Kings are reportedly keen on a fresh rebuild ahead of the new season.

BCCI [{ "selector": ".ttizw-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 450px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".swqsq-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "80%"} ] }]
