IPL 2018: 4 overpaid players this season

#2 Hardik Pandya - ₹11 crores

Hardik Pandya is a regular part of Indian Cricket Team

The names retained by Mumbai Indians were predictable enough. But the act that raised many eyebrows was the order of retention when Hardik Pandya got his name written above Jasprit Bumrah.

Handing the league fee of whopping ₹11 crores to Pandya in comparison to Bumrah's ₹7 crores is arguable. It is true that it would have influenced neither the franchise budget nor the team combination, but the one who matches the double-figure price-tag with his stature is evident enough. While Pandya is a handy player who contributes both with the bat and the ball, Bumrah with his impeccable death bowling is more of a match winner.
