Ishant Sharma has scalped 73 wickets in the Indian T20 League so far and the pacer was, much to the stupefaction of the Indian fans, not picked in the 2022 Indian T20 League mega-auction, forcing the player out of the radar for the edition. It is highly likely that the right-arm pacer announces his retirement post the conclusion of the league.
Amit Mishra is the third-highest wicket-taker in the league behind Lasith Malinga and Dwayne Bravo. However, the spinner was a part of the Delhi franchise in the year 2021 and it remains to be seen if he might get picked at the mini-auction. If at all franchises fail to pick him at the mini-auction, we might as well witness the spinner announce his retirement without making his final appearance in the prestigious tournament.
Ambati Rayudu was an integral part of the Mumbai franchise prior to the 2018 edition and at the mega auction held that year, Rayudu eventually made it to the Chennai squad and became a perfect fit, on the back of which, the batter made it to the international side in 2018 and 2019. Rayudu might announce his retirement soon and bid goodbye to the league and the franchise’s fans.
Wriddhiman Saha had a fantastic outing with the Punjab franchise in the year 2014 and the wicketkeeper played for the Gujarat franchise and made it count as the batter went on to score 317 runs for the team. Saha’s stint in the T20 extravaganza might come to an end post the conclusion of the 2023 edition of the Indian T20 League. Having turned 38 this October, Saha might call time on his career.
MS Dhoni has been captaining the Chennai franchise ever since he was brought in 2008 and it was in the last year that he handed over the captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja, which did not work out. Eventually, Dhoni returned as captain and the superstar is all set to lead the team in 2023 as well. Reports claim that he might retire from all forms of cricket post the conclusion of the Indian T20 League's next edition.
