Today we bring you the IPL 2021 players who never changed teams. The Indian Premier League has been among the most followed cricketing tournaments across the globe and so are the cricketers who appear for the 8 franchise in the tournament. While the Franchise managements sit together close to start of every season to work the best team for the upcoming seasons, there are only a handful players who have consistently been among the favorites of the management. Following are the 3 IPL 2021 players who never changed teams in IPL:
Sunil Narine (Kolkata Knight Riders)
The Mystery Spinner had won a few matches for Kolkata Knight Riders and when Gautam Gambhir joined the franchise, he added an extra burden to the Trinidadian Cricketer, i.e. pinch hitting and the Spinner became a utility cricketer the Franchise would depend on in seasons to come. KKR went on to become two-time IPL champions with this change and a few others.
Narine would destroy a few strong bowling units and break their batting partnerships with almost an equal panache. He went on to become a match winner and go to man for the Kolkata Knight Riders team. Sunil Narine is among the IPL 2021 players who never changed teams.
Kieron Pollard (Mumbai Indians)
Another Trinidadian Cricketer, another story of commitment towards one team. Kieron Adrian Pollard has been the balance the five time champions have had in their team. The list of IPL 2021 Players who never changed teams is incomplete without Pollard. Pollard was picked by the Mumbai Indians team in Indian Premier League 2010. Since being inducted into the Mumbai Indians set up in 2010, Pollard has since then provided the spark to the franchise team in the death overs and the result is there to see as the team went on to become the most successful franchise of Indian Premier League.
One of the greatest middle order batsmen in Indian Premier League tournament, Kieron Pollard is the investment the Mumbai Indians have built around as now they have a constant 3-4 all-rounders in their playing XI making the team one of the strongest as well as balanced.
Virat Kohli (Royal Challengers Bangalore)
The Chase Master, the Run Machine, the Record Slayer are just the phrases that define Virat Kohli and such phrases are increasing with the matches & runs he is adding onto his career statistics. While the years have got a youngster changed to senior cricketer, what has not changed is his fitness and his commitment with the teams he has represented. Virat Kohli started his Indian Premier League career in 2008 with Royal Challengers Bangalore and since then he’s been there seeing the ups and downs of the franchise.
While the franchise team has seen some great seasons, they haven’t been able to convert these into trophy winning ones and that would be a regret that the team and Kohli carry on their shoulders. The RCB‘s marquee player and highest run-scorer ever in IPL, and also for a single franchise would expect 2021 to bring some good news on the front as he continues to be among the IPL 2021 Players who never changed teams.
These were the IPL 2021 players who never changed teams. There are other players like Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and a few others who may join in this list sooner or later, but a lot depends on the 2022 mega auctions.
