IPL 2018: Biggest flop from each team

The biggest T20 league in the world started off in grand fashion

#6 Aaron Finch (Kings XI Punjab)

Aaron Finch IPL 2018 — Playing his first match for Kings XI Punjab, Finch scored 0 runs

Aaron Finch made it to KXIP's team after just getting married. The famous saying behind every successful man there is always a woman can’t be further from the truth when it comes to Finch.

Playing his first match for Kings XI Punjab, Finch scored 0 runs. He followed that up by scoring another duck in his next match. This poor form continued for the Australian batsman so far and he managed to score just 134 runs in 10 matches. That’s ₹1.5 crores down the drain.

With the talent that Finch possesses, one can expect him to bounce back any time soon. But until he turns it around for himself, this is turning out to be his worst IPL yet. Maybe Finch isn’t cut out for the middle order since he spends most of his time opening the batting for Australia.

The smart move for the selectors would be to replace Finch with a more well-rounded middle-order batsman since Finch is clearly feeling uncomfortable batting in the middle order.
