The 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) was marred by chaos surrounding the captaincy change at Mumbai Indians (MI).

This led to further speculations of a rift between Rohit and Hardik. This alleged bad blood between the two led to MI finishing at the bottom spot in the points.

Shreyas Iyer, the IPL-winning skipper of the KKR team of which Gambhir was the mentor, made a deserving national comeback after a rap on the knuckles from the selection committee for repeatedly avoiding domestic cricket last season.

But the same can't be said about Ishan Kishan, who is believed to be nowhere on the selection radar.
