5 star batsmen who have under performed in IPL over the years

#4 Aaron Finch

Aaron Finch

Aaron Finch grabbed everybody's eyeballs when he smashed 156 off just 63 balls against England in 2013. But before that storming innings, he took everyone by surprise when he scored 41 off 17 deliveries against CSK in the Champions League 2010 held in South Africa. After that performance, he got picked up for Delhi Daredevils in the IPL. Much to the franchise owners disappointment, he never managed to score big runs.

Finch has been a T20 stalwart for Australia. In 46 matches that he has played for his country, he has scored 1601 runs at an impressive average of 41.05 at a brilliant strike rate of 158.51. But, when we compare his IPL stats with his stats in international matches it seems like Finch speaks a different language in IPL.

In 75 IPL matches, Finch has scored 1737 runs at a below-par average of 25.93 and at a dismal strike rate of 130.7. For a player who has been atop in ICC T20 rankings, Finch has been a disappointment in the Indian premier league. He has played for 7 different teams, the most by any player in the league which shows his inconsistency with the bat in a big way.
