2. Shane Watson:
The Royal Challengers Bangalore all-rounder is looking very likely to be released by his franchise ahead of the upcoming season. One of the finest all-rounders to grace this tournament, the former Australia star struggled to do well throughout the season and was consequently dropped from the playing XI on several occasions. In 8 matches this season, he managed only 71 runs in addition to picking up 5 wickets. Moreover, the fact that he has already retired from international cricket is likely to work against him and the Bangalore-based team is quite unlikely to retain him.
