Mumbai Indians have assembled a potent squad filled with explosive players. They currently have no injury troubles but do bear few of India's World Cup sureties in their squad. Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah and skipper Rohit Sharma are key players for the Indian team and will have to stay cautious throughout the tournament.

Jason Behrendorff seems to be the only player from the Mumbai side who will leave for international duty. He is likely to be picked for Australia's World Cup campaign as he has grabbed his chances in national colours and impressed everyone with his bowling.


Rajasthan Royals

Buttler and Stokes will be key for both England and Rajasthan

Rajasthan Royals is the team which has the most probability of losing their main players to the World Cup as all their main overseas players are crucial to their national side.

Ben Stokes is one of the best all-rounders in the world currently and has a key role to play for Rajasthan this season. He's however very crucial to England's World Cup campaign and will have to leave early.

Jos Buttler was the messiah for RR last season after their slump in the first half of the season as the exciting and innovative keeper batsman scored 5 consecutive half-centuries opening the batting and led them to the playoffs. His recent form has been mind-blowing and he was on fire against the Windies. Unfortunately, he has to leave early this season too due to the World Cup.

Jofra Archer has an outside chance to be picked for England's World Cup squad after recently qualifying to play for the country. His pace, accuracy and brilliant death bowling will be missed by the Royals.

Steve Smith will be a returning hero for Australia and is sure to make the World Cup squad. His presence in Rajasthan will be crucial as he's their batting mainstay and will be missed once he leaves.

RR also have a smaller risk of losing Ashton Turner, the Aussie middle-order batsman to national duties because of his good current performances. If he too makes the cut, RR will have only 3 overseas players in their squad and might struggle.
