Piyush Chawla is a stalwart of IPL when it comes to numbers. The skiddy leg-spinner has 157 IPL wickets to his name in 165 matches and has been a part of IPL since its inception in 2008.

Amit Mishra is another IPL stalwart who is at the twilight of his career. The 40-year-old is part of the LSG squad but didn't play a single game last season. In the domestic season, Mishra only picked up 10 wickets all season. He is definitely down in the pecking order in the LSG squad, especially with Ravi Bishnoi in the side.

Wriddhiman Saha can be another name who may bite the dust in IPL after this season. Saha, a terrific wicketkeeper-batter, was axed from the Indian Test squad and also changed his domestic allegiance from Bengal to Tripura last season.

Dinesh Karthik is an evergreen name in Indian cricket. He even scored 330 runs for RCB last season and was picked in India's squad for the T20 World Cup last October. But a dismal outing saw Karthik score only 14 runs in three innings and since then he has been in exile from the field. Karthik just played a solitary domestic match last season and scored 9 runs in that.

Well, nobody in the whole country wants this. But MS Dhoni's ride in the IPL may take a permanent halt this season. The adopted son of Chennai epitomizes success and has been a serial winner in the IPL with CSK.
