IPL 2018: 5 players with the worst cost-to-performance ratio

Modified May 26, 2018 01:38 IST

A lot of money was spent during the auction, but not all of it wisely

#1 Jaydev Unadkat

Unadkat has been one of the worst performers of this season, only richer.

The only reason Maxwell takes the second place is that the moment the auction ended, it was fully expected that Jaydev Unadkat would be taking the first place, and for once the lanky pacer has not disappointed.

It is to Rajasthan's credit that they finished in the position they did after having two players on this list. Why anyone decided that ₹11.5 crores is a justifiable price tag for the medium-pacer is beyond me, and from the looks of it, beyond Unadkat himself.

24 wickets in the previous edition helped his cause, but he was understandably bogged down under the immense weight of his price tag. He finished the season with just 11 wickets - coming down to 1.04 crores per every wicket.
