IPL 2018: 3 international players who had a dream start to their IPL careers

#2 Liam Plunkett

Liam Plunket has strengthened DD's bowling attack

The 33-year-old English pacer was roped in by DD as a replacement for the injured South African speedster, Kagiso Rabada. Having won only one game from five matches, DD decided to go with Plunkett against table toppers KXIP.

Plunkett dismissed three in-form batsmen of KXIP and restricted the opposition to a modest total. In his quota of four overs, he gave away just 17 runs and dismissed KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, and Karun Nair.

Plunkett also pitched in the fielding department as he caught David Miller in the deep. Despite his outstanding performance, DD lost the match by four runs.

However, Plunkett will surely play many more games and if he contributes in a similar manner, DD will have few wins on the board.
