IPL 2018: 5 IPL stars who are being missed by the fans

After over a month of intense action, the tournament has entered its last leg. Sunrisers Hyderabad has officially qualified for the playoffs while other teams are fighting it out to finish in the upper half of the points table.

Delhi Daredevils who are placed at the bottom of the table are officially knocked out of the tournament while Royal Challengers Bangalore still have a bleak chance to qualify. The upcoming week will confirm the qualification of at least two more teams and the fight to finish in the top 4 is bound to get intense.

While the season has been exciting so far, still many star IPL players are being missed. These players are sitting out of the tournament due to one or the other reason.

Here are the 5 IPL stars who are being missed by the fans this season:

#5 David Warner

David Warner, the Australian batsman was ruled out of the tournament following a one year ban. The verdict came as a setback to the Sunrisers Hyderabad team even before the season had started. It was heartbreaking news for the fans and the team is definitely missing his presence.

Warner has been the pillar of the Hyderabad team ever since he joined them. In the four seasons that he has played for SRH, Warner has scored more than 500 runs in each of them. It was under his captaincy that Sunrisers Hyderabad won their maiden IPL title in 2016.

Sunrisers Hyderabad's batting has looked ordinary since the start of the season and it is the bowling that has won them most of the matches. New Zealand batsman, Kane Williamson has been able to fill in the boots of David Warner as a captain still, Warner's presence as a power-hitting batsman is being felt.
