Several players have continued playing in the IPL even after announcing their retirement from international cricket. However, there comes a time when players have to retire from T20 leagues like the IPL as well. Thus, in every season we see several cricketers announcing their retirement from the cash-rich T20 league.

Similarly, there’s a huge chance of seeing a few Indian cricketers on the field one last time in the second half of IPL 2021. So which are those cricketers who in all likelihood, will be playing their last IPL?

It is safe to call Robin Uthappa an ‘IPL Great’. The wicketkeeper batsman has been playing the Indian T20 league since its inception in 2008. He has played for as many as six franchises.

However, his most prominent stint has to be with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) from 2014 to 2019. He was absolutely sensational for them as he went on to win the Orange Cap in 2014. Coincidentally, KKR also happened to win the title in that season.

Post 2019, he represented the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in 2020 and is now with the Chennai Super Kings. He is already 35 and might just announce his retirement. Besides, he’s yet to get a game for the Super Kings and was warming the bench for them in the first phase of IPL 2021.

While Kedar Jadhav may not be an IPL legend, he’s surely an underrated player. He has played several match winning knocks in his IPL career. After a steady stint with the Delhi Daredevils (now Capitals) he was purchased by Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

He had a good season in 2017 as he was one of the positive aspects in a rather dismal season for the franchise. He was then picked by the Super Kings in the 2018 auction for a hefty amount. He was superb in the season opener before getting ruled out of the tournament.

After two underwhelming seasons in 2019 and 2020, CSK decided to release him. He now plays for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and wasn’t a regular feature in .
