Dream11 IPL 2020 mid-season transfers: Which players are eligible from each team so far?
With some unexpected players making a huge splash and some bigger names struggling, the transfer window at the Dream11 IPL 2020 may finally see some action.
The Dream11 IPL 2020 has gotten off to a roaring start. With some unexpected players making a huge splash at the big stage and some bigger names struggling to live up to their hefty price tags, the Dream11 IPL 2020 has already served up some thrilling performances. With more than half the series still remaining, teams will now be looking at plugging up any leaks in their rosters.
Dream11 IPL mid season transfers: How can teams go about it?
The BCCI first introduced the Dream11 IPL mid season transfers window in the 2018 seasn. Since then, the provision hasn't been used by any team. In a slight change from the last two years when only uncapped players were available for transfers, any player who has played less than two matches for their side at the Dream11 IPL 2020 will be eligible for a transfer. The Dream11 IPL 2020 mid season transfers window will open once each team has played at least seven games. As of now, Mumbai and Chennai have played six games each, while every other team has played five.

Once the near invincibles, Chennai have been floating between the middle and bottom of the Dream11 IPL points table and might be on the hunt for some new names. The team has not replaced No.3 Suresh Raina and spinner Harbhajan Singh. The young Punjab side has been languishing at the bottom of the table with just one win and will want some new blood in the side.
Meanwhile, for Hyderabad, who lost Mitchell Marsh and Bhuvneshwar Kumar to injuries earlier in the season, the transfer window could provide a wealth of opportunities. Some of the biggest names eligible for Dream11 IPL mid season transfers include Ajinkya Rahane, Chris Gayle, Chris Lynn and Imran Tahir, all of whom have not played a single game in the Dream11 IPL 2020 so far.
