The Indian Premier League (IPL) is back with its 16th edition this year and fans are excited to see their favourite teams and players back in action.
Unfortunately, supporters will not get to see every player they were expecting to before the tournament started. Some players were ruled out from this year's IPL before it even began due to nursing various injuries or having other commitments to adhere to. One such player is Delhi Capitals star Rishabh Pant who will not participate this season due to still recovering from a horrific car accident he went through towards the end of last year. Similarly, there will also be cricketers who are ruled out as the tournament goes on.
