IPL 2018: 5 players who haven't got a single chance in the playing XI in the last 2 seasons

Modified Mar 14, 2018 16:44 IST

In the IPL Auction 2018, 169 players were picked by the franchises.

#3 Ankush Bains

Ankush Bains was part of India's 2014 U-19 World Cup squad

Ankush Bains, a wicket-keeper batsman who plays for Himachal Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy, had been a part of the Rajasthan Royals in 2014, the Chennai Super Kings in 2015 and the Rising Pune Supergiant in 2016 and 2017.

Yet, he has not played a single game in the IPL despite being part of one of the squads for three seasons. In 30 T20 matches that he has played, he has scored 538 runs at a strike rate of 103 with 3 fifties. Because of not making a huge impact in the domestic circuit off late, he was not picked by any team in the 2018 auctions.
