The festival of India "Indian Premier League" is going to start on this Saturday, September 19th. On an opening day, four-time title winners, Mumbai Indians will take on one of the most loved and consistent sides of the league named Chennai Super Kings. Coming to the point, we know that each and every team have to go with only four overseas players in their playing xi according to the restrictions. As only four slots are available for the foreigners some star players find it difficult to make a place in the team. In this article, we are going to see the five overseas cricketers who might warm the bench throughout the season. 5. James Pattinson (Mumbai Indians) [caption id="attachment_126934" align="aligncenter" width="640"] James Pattinson ruled out of first Test.[/caption] James Pattinson has been called to the squad in the replacement of one of the best death bowlers in the world, Lasith Malinga, who pulled out of the league due to some personal issues. Pattinson gets into the list because Mumbai already has some international stars like Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and Nathan Coulter-Nile. It's likely to be impossible for Pattinson to get into the playing xi of the defending champions. 4. Andrew Tye (Rajasthan Royals) The Purple Cap winner of the 11th edition of the Indian Premier League might also warm the bench throughout the season. Tye failed to live up to the expectations of Rajasthan as the latter only took three wickets from six games he played in the 2019 Indian Premier. Moreover, it is very difficult for him to get into the line-up as Rajasthan Royals already have the best overseas players like Steve Smith, Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler in their set-up. 3. Chris Green (Kolkata Knight Riders) One of the finest uncapped all-rounders from Australia, Chris Green was been bought by Kolkata Knight Riders as a backup player for Sunil Narine. However, he might warm the bench due to the likes of Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Eoin Morgan, Tom Banton and Pat Cummins who are currently in good form in their department. 2. Joshua Phillipe (Royal Challengers Bangalore) The in-form wicket-keeper batsmen, Joshua Phillipe, played well in the 2019 BBL and ended up the season as the third-highest run-scorer of the league with 487 runs. It's almost impossible for Phillipe to break through into the RCB playing xi as they already have a strong batting line-up in the form of Aaron Finch, Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikal and Parthiv Patel. 1. Josh Hazlewood (Chennai Super Kings) The pace bowler from Australia, Josh Hazlewood, is a talented bowler who can give the breakthrough for his team at crunch situations. In the 2020 IPL Auction, he caught the eye of Chennai Super Kings who bought him at a good price of RS.2 Crore ahead of IPL 2020 season. Still, it would be very difficult for Hazlewood to find a place in the xi due the presence of other stars like Faf de Plessis, Imran Tahir, Lungisani Ngidi, Shane Watson, Dwayne Bravo, Mitchell Santner and Sam Curran. So, it is nearly impossible for Hazlewood to make into the xi of Chennai Super Kings.
