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

#2 Glenn Maxwell (Delhi Daredevils)

Nobody can ask a single question about Glenn Maxwell's capabilities, but there is no end to questions on the consistency of the Victoria lad. One day he wins a match for his team single-handedly from the jaws of defeat, and the very next day he gets out on the first ball. His former team mentor Virender Sehwag has often told him to play straight batted shots and not to go for the fancier options, but Mad Max listens to none.

Maxwell's best season in IPL was way back in 2014, where he scored 552 runs at a strike rate of nearly 190. After that, he had a very torrid couple of seasons and made some sort of a comeback last year. That is how Maxwell is, epitomizing unpredictability. Because of that, no cricket expert before the auction was expecting a fierce bidding battle for him. But DD coach Ricky Ponting showed faith in his countrymen and bought him for Rs 9 crores. But is he worth? Only time and Maxi knows.
