He was part of the winning team for SRH in 2016, then for the Mumbai Indians in 2017, and for the CSK in 2018.

Southee was part of the CSK franchise in 2011 where they won the IPL for the second consecutive time and it was the first IPL trophy for Southee. He performed decently but was released after the season from CSK.

Southee was picked by Mumbai Indians for the 2016 IPL and he went on to be part of the title-winning campaign in 2017 under the leadership of Rohit Sharma. He has played 40 IPL games and picked up 28 wickets at an economy rate of 8.73 which wasn’t good enough for the IPL standards.

Parthiv Patel:

The Indian wicket-keeper has now retired from the IPL and is part of the scout recruitment team in the Mumbai Indians. He was part of various franchises in the past and he has won three titles with Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians combined.

Parthiv Patel was part of the winning squad in 2010 for CSK and then played a crucial role in 2015 and 2017’s title-winning campaigns for Mumbai Indians. He has played 139 IPL games and has scored 2848 runs at a strike rate of 120.8. He is more suited to play at the top order and was benched by the RCB franchise in the last edition.

Harbhajan Singh:

The veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has won four titles combinedly with Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians in his IPL career. He is part of the Kolkata Knight Riders in the upcoming edition and won his first IPL title in 2013 for the Mumbai Indians.

He then went on to win two more titles for Mumbai in 2015 and 2017 but wasn’t retained ahead of the mega auction. Harbhajan, then went on to play for the CSK team in 2018 and won an IPL title with them for the fourth time overall. He was released by CSK ahead of the auction this year.

Ambati Rayudu:

The Indian right-hander Ambati Rayudu has been part of four title-winning campaigns combined with Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. Rayudu was a regular feature in the Mumbai team until 2017 and was part of the winning team in 2013, 2015, and 2017.

He was then picked up by Chennai in the 2018 auction and he provided the much-needed impetus to the franchise and played a crucial role in their title win again. He is still part of the CSK franchise and could be in line for a fifth title this year in the upcoming edition.
