Mumbai Indians Might Release Kieron Pollard:
Kieron Pollard, the giant from the Windies who has been a part of the men in blue and gold since the very beginning is expected to be released by the Mumbai Indians. He has been a true asset to the team all these years. But since the last two years, Polly has looked a bit off-color.

Delhi Capitals Likely To Release Shardul Thakur:
The Delhi Capitals will release Shardul Thakur who was bought for a whopping 10.75 Crore Indian Rupees. Shardul played all the games for the Capitals last season but if asked whether he was worth the money, the answer is a big no! Releasing Shardul will help the Delhi Capitals to vacate a spot for an all-rounder.
They also plan to release Tim Siefert which will help them to vacate a spot for an overseas player. This does give us a hint that Delhi might go all in for “Cameron Green”. KS Bharat and Ashwin Hebbar are also expected to be released. Sarfaraz Khan might also be released as his stocks have risen after helping Mumbai to lift the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Cup. IPL 2023 will be a fun roller-coaster ride!
