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

#2 Glenn Maxwell (Delhi Daredevils)

Glenn Maxwell was DD's most expensive player

What a coincidence that both the groom and the emcee features in this list. Much like his close friend Finch, Glenn Maxwell had a season which he would like to forget. Delhi Daredevils' coach Ricky Ponting had immense faith in him and hence splurged INR 9 crores on him. In return, 'Maxi' has scored only 169 runs.

Inconsistency has always been the issue with Maxwell but this year his average stooped to a new low of under 15. Surprisingly, he has done a better job with the ball by picking up 5 wickets at an economy rate of a bit over 8 runs per over, but it seems pretty certain that his name will go into the auction for next year.
