Shikhar Dhawan is such a stupid and expensive retention.

He was picked up very expensive, so, they might pick him again for less.

Why spend so much money on a player and not play him even for a single game?

Especially as Nathu Singh has a very good domestic T20 record and can bowl quick, swinging yorkers at will.

[Tibarn]

Some really useful players have been released like Tahir, Munro, Guptill, Morgan, Anderson, Hogg.

 

Looks like all the Kiwis are being released, not good, they did well last WT20. 

 

It'll be weird to see KKR without Morne, some reason I associate him with that team. Honestly, I was hoping KKR would get rid of 1 of their young bowlers, so they could get a chance elsewhere, as KKR is bowling heavy, but maybe Morne leaving opens a spot. 

 

Steyn was rightfully released, I wonder where he will end up, maybe RCB  They really just need Starc to play the entire season to be favorites IMO. Lambhu might end up here as well. 

 

Punjab shouldn't have released Abbot, I think he was useful for them, but maybe they can get Anderson or KP.

 

Guj should've kept Tambe, a very good leggie for IPL, I guess Guj should target Karn Sharma as a replacement. Not sure why Eklaviya was released but Ishaan kept, the former was much better last IPL iirc. They also need an offie and an Indian batsman, they didn't have one last IPL  They also don't have much flexibility with their overseas players.

 

Looks like Pawan Negi is going to the SuperGiants,  I thought they would get rid of Smith instead of KP. KP can't stick to a team. 

 

Mumbai maybe needs one of the star bowlers just in case Malinga is past it. 

 

Hopefully Nathu to Delhi, they may actually play him, but they do already have Shami and Zak. They may buy up all the young players again and not give them a set position in the batting order 

 

Hyderabad I guess needs a good spinner or maybe bid for KP to strengthen their weaker lower order, although KP-Yuvi on the same team might be dramatic.

I thought this was the season for the complete overhaul(With only max 4 players retained)?
