IPL 2018: 3 unsold players who are returning to the tournament as commentators

<p> — Many players were unsold in this year's auction

Each year, several players go unsold in the auctions but make a return to the tournament in some way or the other.

While some make a comeback as replacements for injured players, others join the support staff or commentary team.

As many as 100 commentators are participating in the tournament, for various languages – English, Hindi, Bengali and Tamil among others.

Here’s taking a look at 5 players who played last year, went unsold this year but are all set to return as commentators.

#3 Rajat Bhatia – Hindi commentary

Bhatia managed only 2 wickets from 3 games last year with Rising Pune Supergiant

Rajat Bhatia is among many other Hindi commentators announced for this year’s Indian Premier League.

The veteran all-rounder has been around for more than a decade now and, has been a part of Delhi Daredevils, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals and Rising Pune Supergiant.

From 95 IPL games, Bhatia has 342 runs and 71 wickets. Last year, in particular, he played only 3 games, from which he scored 16 runs and took 2 wickets.

Form has not been on the 38-year-old’s side, which is why he went unsold in the auction this year, and will now be trying his luck as a Hindi commentator.
