In fact, a handful of star players have long played their part in entertaining the fans and playing a key role in the IPL’s rise to become the world’s number one T20 series. However, due to the cycle of time, a few players have been unable to participate in this IPL series. Let’s see about that.

1. Chris Gayle: Chris Gayle, hailed as the action king of the West Indies team, is no exaggeration to say he is a giant legend in IPL history. He has played for Kolkata, Bangalore and Punjab since 2008. He was the one who made the IPL series popular by entertaining the fans with a rain of sixes at the ground. He has hit 357 sixes in 141 innings, the highest number of sixes in IPL history. He also captained the Pune team in 2013, scoring 175 * off just 66 balls.

He holds the record for the highest score in the history of T20 cricket, not only in the IPL, but also as the fastest player to score a century. He also holds the record for most centuries in IPL history with 4965 in 142 matches. It is no exaggeration to say that he is Sachin Tendulkar of T20 cricket, who has amassed 10,000 runs in T20 cricket as well as 1000 sixes. However Gail, now 42, retired last year due to Hurricane Gail’s age.

2. AB de Villiers: South African star batsman AB de Villiers played for Delhi in the IPL and then for a long time for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Fans celebrate him as a Mr. 360 degree batsman who has the ability to hit sixes on all four sides of the field no matter how hard the bowler of the world throws.

In particular, he has teamed up with Indian star Virat Kohli several times and has amassed the record for most Top 2 partnership runs in IPL history. It is a pity for the fans that he retired last year at the age of 38 as he has amassed 5167 runs in 184 matches and achieved many feats and victories.

3. Amit Mishra: Indian spinner Amit Mishra has played in the IPL for Delhi, Deccan Chargers and Sunrisers Hyderabad. He has taken 166 wickets in 154 matches with his spin bowling, making him the highest wicket-taker in IPL history.

He also took 3 hat-tricks and became the highest wicket-taker in IPL history. He is now 39 years old and it is considered difficult to see him in the IPL series as no team has bought him in the recent auction.

4. Harbhajan Singh: Former India star Harbhajan Singh retired from the IPL last year after playing for Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata from 2008 to 2021 due to his talent in the series. He has taken 150 wickets in 163 matches, making him the highest bowler in IPL history (1268 balls). He has also played for Mumbai and Chennai and won 4 championships.

5. Suresh Raina: Even the aforementioned players will not be able to participate in the IPL series this year as they have retired due to age. But the fact that star Indian batsman Suresh Raina, who is just 35 years old, has made it to the list will no doubt disappoint a lot of fans. This is because he has played for the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings since 2008 and has contributed to the team’s historic success.

Raina’s role in the 4 trophies that the team has won so far is enormous. He was the main backbone player in the team after Captain Dhoni and captained the Gujarat Lions when the Chennai team was banned in 2016. When he returned to Chennai in 2018, he was called by the experts as Mr. IPL because he was the first player to score 5000 runs in the IPL series.

Similarly, the Chennai team management did not even buy him during the recent auction as he has not played in any of the local matches as he has been suffering from lack of form in recent times as Chennai fans have been celebrating him as a icon. He has scored 5528 runs in 205 matches and has a lot of records in IPL history. It is noteworthy, however, that he now understands the reality and is set to make his mark in the IPL series as a commentator this year.
