Five Retained Indian players who have disappointed in this year's IPL

3) Axar Patel:

Axar Patel's retention was a blunder by Punjab

When Punjab decided to retain Axar Patel, there were many questions that were asked. For a player who was out of form and was shunned by the national selectors, selecting him was a big gamble. The results show that the decision to pick him was a big blunder.

Neither did he impress with his bowling nor did he chip in with his batting. In the nine matches that he has played, he scored just 80 runs at an average of 13.33. His bowling numbers were even more pathetic. He just picked up 3 wickets and was expensive as he conceded runs at an economy rate of around 8.5.
