5 England players who failed to shine in the IPL

Tejas V
ICC T20 Mens World Cup Final
England boasts many T20 specialists but in the IPL, most of them have failed.

1. Tymal Mills

Sussex Sharks v Essex Eagles: T20 Blast
Mills continues to freelance for various T20 franchises but unfortunately not the IPL.

Tymal Mills features at the top of this list because of the sole reason that in the IPL 2017 Auctions, he was acquired for a whopping 12 Crores by RCB. Mills was a part of the franchise's worst-ever run in which they finished at the bottom of the table.

Prior to the auctions, Mills was a highly regarded bowler and with RCB discontinuing their association with Mitchell Starc, they were watching out for an able replacement. He is the second-most expensive player to have been purchased at the auctions.

The 25-year-old played featured only in 5 matches for the RCB unit and was totally ineffective. His bowling economy spiked close to 9 runs and over and in five matches he managed as many wickets thus forcing RCB to release him.

Mills failed to attract any buyers this time around at the auctions despite placing his base price at 1 Crore thanks to his failure to live up to the expectations of the tournament.
