IPL 2018: Players returning to their original franchises

The 2018 auction resulted in a major overhaul for all the eight franchises. While some of the teams managed to retain a significant core from their previous campaigns, others preferred to opt for a complete reset.

Movement of players across different franchises is inevitable, and being professionals, the players have adjusted to a format where they are expected to perform despite no guarantee of them being retained by their teams for the next season.

Interestingly, this year's IPL auction saw a number of players re-employed by the franchises they represented when making their IPL debuts. Reasons for the same were mainly reinvestment in local players by franchises and the return of Chennai Super Kings from a two-year suspension.

Let us look at ten such players who will turn out for their original franchises:

#10 Aditya Tare (Mumbai Indians)

The biggest moment of Aditya Tare's career was when he hit a six under-pressure to help Mumbai Indians stun the Rajasthan Royals and enter the IPL Playoffs in 2014.

Since making his debut for MI in 2010, Tare made a number of useful contributions over the years in the limited opportunities that he was given. He was a part of their triumphs in 2013 and 2015 as well.

In 2016, MI let him go and Sunrisers Hyderabad snapped him up at the auction, but he failed to impress in the few chances he got. More underwhelming performances followed in 2017, this time playing for Delhi Daredevils, and he ended up being benched for the majority of the season.

Tare was picked by MI at the 2018 auction for his base price of INR 20 lakhs, and would want to add to his memorable performances for the franchise.
