IPL 2018: Biggest flop from each team

Modified May 30, 2018 12:31 IST

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

#2 D’Arcy Short (Rajasthan Royals)

D’Arcy Short was one of the most buzz-worthy names at the start of the IPL season. He scored 572 runs in 11 matches for Hobart Hurricanes with 4 50s and 1 century. He also held an impressive strike-rate of 148.47.

All eyes were on Short as he walked into the biggest T20 league in the world. Short’s debut was awful as he was run out for just 4 runs. In his second match, he was run out again for just 6 runs. He struggled throughout the tournament and never looked comfortable in the IPL.

Rajasthan kept giving him chances in the hope that he will deliver and score a big one, but he hasn’t grasped those opportunities and has been a big let down for his team.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
