IPL 2018: 4 overpaid players this season

#1 Manish Pandey - ₹11 crores

Manish Pandey is currently in line for cementing his spot in the Indian ODI team

Manish Pandey is the first Indian to hit an IPL century and majorly remembered for his match-winning knock for Kolkata Knight Riders in the finals against Kings XI Punjab in 2014. The 28-year-old was roped-in by Sunrisers Hyderabad for ₹11 crores.

The Karnataka batsman has played IPL since its inception and there hasn't been a season where he scored more than two fifties. Furthermore, his career strike-rate looks ordinary, 120.11 to be specific. It is understandable that SRH's middle-order woes along with KKR's sniff through right to match (RTM) have led to a high price tag, but without questioning his capabilities, a number around ₹5-6 crores would have made more sense.
