IPL 2018: 5 players Delhi Daredevils should not retain

Delhi Daredevils are perhaps the perennial underachievers in the Indian Premier League. Apart from the initial couple of seasons, Delhi have always been shrugged aside in the competition and despite all the coaching and pedigree in the squad, they have never been able to clinch the critical moments in the league and hence their season never really takes off.

And now as the new season draws closer, the management of the Daredevils have decisions to make with respect to the retentions.

Such has been the volatile approach of the franchise, it becomes almost impossible to read their minds, but what we can do here is to predict the names of players who should be allowed to go back under the hammer.

#5 Carlos Brathwaite

The big burly West Indian was the toast of the town in 2016 when his exploits with the bat won the Windies the World T20 and hence was snapped up by the Daredevils with a lot of expectations.

However, in the two seasons, Brathwaite has not lived up to the billing and has not been able to nail down his position in the side.

Although he is now leading West Indies in T20 Internationals, Delhi might just release him and look for better options.
