IPL 2018: 5 expensive players who can turn out to be big flops

Modified Apr 05, 2018 14:36 IST

#4 Ishan Kishan (Mumbai Indians)

The young wicket-keeper batsman has already shown promise, but that might just not be enough to justify his price tag of Rs 6.2 crores. Kishan has played 16 games in IPL so far, scoring 277 runs at an average of 21. Moreover, his strike rate of 129 doesn't make for great reading.

If you think Kishan's overall T20 career average is extraordinary, you're wrong, because it is just 22. He has played 41 T20 games in total, in which his strike rate is just 124. These ordinary numbers don't justify the extraordinary price tag of the lad from Patna.
