Ipl franchises are allowed to sign replacements having the same base price as the original players in their respective teams. But securing replacements in this situation has been a challenge for all teams in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. let's take a look at the complete list of players for each of the eight teams who will not take part in the upcoming tournament. Josh Hazelwood withdraw from IPL  citing bubble fatigue, considering that he has been part of bio-bubbles for over ten months.

Chennai super kings haven't signed a replacement for Hazlewood yet, with some of the franchise's potential targets declining to join over COVID-19 concerns. Shreyas ayyer is likely to miss the entirety of IPL 2021 after sustaining a shoulder injury while fielding in the ODI series against England. The in-form Rishabh Pant has been appointed the Delhi Capitals (DC) captain for the season. Meanwhile, DC's  Axar Patel will also miss the first few games after testing positive for COVID-19; he will have to complete a  quarantine limit.

While Shreyas Iyer's absence will be sorely missed, DC seem to have the squad depth to more than cover for him. DC open their IPL campaign against CSK on April 10th at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. For other sides, you might want to look at the venues, but for RCB, that lacks something as basic as a death bowler, they need to get one in case of an injury or otherwise. RCB broke their bank for an untested Kyle Jamieson while the likes of Daniel Sams ,kane Richardson  hardly inspire much confidence at death. Not to forget Mohammed Siraj and Navdeep Saini is not known for their death prowess either. And this is where the uncapped Australian pacer Nathan Ellis can come in handy who nails the yorkers with some conviction. He's Hobart Hurricanes' T Natarajan, a yorker king. The right-arm pacer had a fabulous BBL season as well as he claimed 20 wickets in 14 games at an economy of 8.31 and is a great option for death overs, where his economy remains a brilliant 8.53 in T20s. Moreover, 23 of his 33 wickets have come in death overs and he can be a great signing for the Kohli-led RCB. In this season many players of the team's will miss the several ipl matches. In this current  situation of covid 19 many players are not ready to play ipl
