IPL 2018: One cricketer from each eliminated team who should not be retained next year

Kieron Pollard's time is all but over and the sooner MI accepts it the better it is for them

#3 Brendon McCullum (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Brendon McCullum is now a shadow of his glorious past

Talking about foreigners Royal Challengers Bangalore should release, Corey Anderson is the first name that comes to our mind. However, the Kiwi was an injury replacement for Nathan Coulter-Nile and amongst their original signings, RCB might consider dropping another Kiwi in Brendon McCullum.

While there is no doubt that 'Baz' has had an illustrious T20 career, it is high time to accept that the 36-year-old is not the same that he used to be. In this year's IPL, he scored 127 runs in 6 games at an average of just over 20, something not 'Baz-esque'. Henceforth, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers had to deal with immense pressure and RCB's hopes of winning the title extinguished one more time.
