IPL 2018: 5 players Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) should not retain

Tymal Mills

Mills was one of the most expensive failures of IPL 2017

Touted as a single key to a plethora of RCB's bowling woes, Tymal Mills came a cropper, unable to mimic any of his famed death-bowling expertise in the red and black jersey. Forming the spearhead of a thin-as-rails bowling attack, Mills couldn't do justice to the whopping cheque he received in the auctions, costing Rs. 2.4 crore for each of the five wickets he took in five games.

Erratic with his line and unable to force pressure in the initial overs, Mills leaked runs at 8.57 an over, his back-of-the-hand slower balls doing more harm than good to his own team.

Roped in by the franchise after only four international appearances, the off-colour Mills burned a hole in the side's pockets while being unable to fill the boots of the indispensable Mitchell Starc, whose absence was felt like never before.
