IPL 2016: 5 domestic performers who have failed to perform in the tournament so far

Pawan Negi

The most expensive player in the IPL auction this year has failed to justify his price tag so far

The young all-rounder from Delhi was a star performer in the 50-over domestic tournament Vijay Hazare Trophy as he picked up 16 wickets in the 9 games he played. He also performed well with the bat in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament where he scored 173 runs at an astonishing average of 86.50. in the 9 games he played

Delhi Daredevils bought this young talent for an astronomical figure of INR 8.5 crores in this year’s auction. It showed the kind of faith the franchise had on this youngster.

However, so far he has failed to live up to the expectations as he performed poorly in the 6 games he played. Negi has scored only 51 runs and failed to pick up any wickets in those 6 games. He even went out of the team after the 5 games and Delhi included him in the playing XI in the game against Rising Pune Supergiants.
