IPL 2019: Key players from each team who can leave the tournament midway because of World Cup

#5 Mumbai Indians- Quinton De Kock and Jason Behrendorff

The Mumbai Indians possess few of India's most important players for the World Cup and will almost surely rest them if they get a chance to do so in this season of the IPL. Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya will be kept on a tight leash with respect to fitness and fatigue. But they aren't the only players who will affect the hopes of the Mumbai Indians due to the World Cup.

Quinton de Kock, who they acquired from the Royal Challengers Bangalore is sure to be in the World Cup squad for South Africa and will leave the tournament half-way through it. De Kock is a stunning player to watch when he's batting and has taken many wonderful catches and effected many stumpings as a wicket-keeper.

He will be missed but Ishan Kishan will back up. Another player who could miss out will be Behrendorff, the T20 specialist bowler who has grabbed his ODI opportunity with both hands and is now a front-runner for the extra pacer's spot in the Australia squad.
