IPL 2018: One player each from 7 teams whose batting position should be changed
The 11th edition of Indian Premier League began on 7th of April in Mumbai this year. This year's competition seems to be the most closely fought league with a number of teams competing closely for the playoffs while quality sides like Bengaluru and Mumbai are struggling.
The 11th season of IPL is going to be a well-fought competition and some small changes can help the teams perform better. One of the most important change that the teams should make is playing the right players at the right position.
Indian Premier League's history has shown us that the batting position often determines the success rate of a number of batsmen. Some players have the ability to hit the ball big and are capable of playing the role of finisher while there are others who require the help of powerplay overs to get going, so it is important to get the batsmen to play in positions which suit them.
Of the 8 teams in IPL this year Sunrisers Hyderabad seems to be the only team which has got its batting order correct and it is reaping dividends for the same with three victories in three matches. All the other teams can tinker their batting order a bit to get better results.
Delhi Daredevils- Shreyas Iyer
Delhi Daredevils is one of the teams in Indian Premier League which has become synonymous with underperformance. The side always had some impressive players in the team but has always underperformed and this year is turning out to be a no exception.
The team has shuffled the batting order way too much for batsmen's comfort and the biggest victim of this continuous churning has been Shreyas Iyer. He had performed brilliantly for the Delhi team last year and was retained by them on the basis of those performances but this year he has been pushed up and down the batting order and he doesn't have a fixed batting position.
Iyer is one of the best players in domestic cricket at present. He is not a big hitter of the ball but he has the gift of timing to help him play all the three formats of the game. He is a great batsman at number 3 and it would serve the team well if he plays at the position.
