IPL 2018: 3 players who are likely to be dropped by their franchises next year

#2 Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell has made a name for himself as a big-hitting batsman who has the ability to score off just about any delivery bowled to him. This was proven at the IPL auction where interest in the big-hitting Aussie was high.

Maxwell was eventually picked up by the Delhi Daredevils for a whopping Rs 9 crore, making him one of their most expensive buys. The franchise clearly saw a lot of value in having Maxwell as a part of their squad and were hoping that this investment would see them go all the way during this year's tournament.

The franchise have instead been rooted to the bottom of the IPL points table and have been struggling to win. Maxwell hasn't done much to justify his hefty price tag either. His first seven games saw him register scores of 17, 13, 47, 4, 12, 27 and 6 with the bat - which is far from what his franchise would have been expecting from him.

As is the case with David Miller, Maxwell could easily prove his worth during the next few games. However, with Delhi's chances of qualifying for the playoffs up in smoke, it is likely that the franchise would not be recruiting the Aussie next year.
