IPL 2018: 4 cricketers who are being badly missed by their old franchise
Several cricketers were released by their franchises ahead of the IPL 2018 auctions, some of whom were not brought back even through the RTM (Right To Match) card.
Some of these players have gone on to perform tremendously well for their new franchises. Here’s looking at 4 players who are being missed by their previous franchise.
#4 Suryakumar Yadav
The Mumbai batsman received an IPL call-up in the 2012 season from the Mumbai Indians, but did not get to play a single game. From 2014 to 2017, the middle-order batsman was a regular in the Kolkata Knight Riders team, putting up occasional match-winning performances.
During his 3-year stint with the Knights, Yadav scored 612 runs. This year, he was bought by his previous franchise Mumbai Indians, and in only 4 games of the season thus far, he has piled up 124 runs at an average of almost 32 and strike rate of 132. Suryakumar also owned the orange cap for a couple of hours this season, before it was taken away by Shikhar Dhawan.
