4. Parthiv Patel (6 teams)

Unquestionably, Parthiv Patel is the only Indian cricketer who has never been trusted by a single IPL franchise for very long. Over the years, Parthiv has represented six franchises- Chennai Super Kings, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Deccan Chargers, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians. Diminishing form and an incapability to score runs quickly resulted in Parthiv being squeezed out from teams regularly. But from the last two editions, he has been with the Mumbai Indians and should be their permanent member this season. However, he has played some match-winning knocks this season.

5. Aaron Finch (6 teams)

Surprisingly, Australian opener Aaron Finch, who is an explosive batsman, hasn’t been very lucky in the IPL. Injuries, franchises being terminated, and some other demoralizing reasons have resulted in him being a part of various franchises, such as Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Daredevils, Pune Warriors, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Lions since the 2010 season onward. That’s six teams in seven seasons. His most successful assignment was with the Pune Warriors in 2013 where he scored as many as 456 runs. Ever since he has been with the Gujarat Lions, he has been in terrific form and played some unforgettable innings, but unfortunately, Gujarat franchise is also expected to be terminated in next season.
