IPL 2018: 4 foreign players who have been given way too many chances
The competition for a spot in the playoffs is getting stiff as all the teams have started to put their best foot forward. As we move to the business end of the tournament, it becomes extremely vital for each and every team to have a settled playing XI. Apart from this, the form of all the players becomes crucial, especially the overseas players. A lot is expected from the overseas players as they come with a lot of international experience.
If the foreign players shine for the franchise then their chances of having a fruitful season increases. At the same time, if they fail to perform, then it becomes difficult for the team to do well. This year, a lot of overseas players have let their teams down. While many of these players are replaced in the playing XI, there are still some who have been given ample chances but have had a dismal time. We will look at 4 such overseas players who don't deserve a place in the playing XI.
#4 Kieron Pollard
Kieron Pollard has been one of the most famous Mumbai Indians players. He has won many matches for the franchise single-handedly over the years. It was a no-brainer when it came to retaining the Trinidadian at the auction. But this season has been nothing less than a nightmare for
Pollard. In the 6 matches that the West Indies all-rounder has played this season, he has scored a meagre 63 runs. His strike-rate has been a low 110.52, which shows his inability to score quick runs. Mumbai Indians eventually dropped Pollard in their last match against Chennai Super Kings but Rohit Sharma did not rule out Pollard's comeback. Keeping in mind his poor run of form, does Pollard deserve more chances?
