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

#1 Kieron Pollard (Mumbai Indians)

Kieron Pollard did not bowl and had a tough season with the bat

Mumbai Indians' camp was overjoyed after roping in Kieron Pollard for INR 5.4 crores at the auction, but what followed was nothing less than a horror show. Pollard has not bowled a single over and his batting has been unsatisfactory, to say the least. In 9 games, the big West Indian has scored only 133 runs at an average of under 20 and a strike rate of 133.

Except for one knock of 50 runs, Pollard has failed to deliver anything special which is one of the reasons why Mumbai Indians' lower-order failed to capitalize on the good starts their openers have kept on giving. Though he is not as old as McCullum, his form is only going down which might lead to the end of his long partnership with the three-time IPL winning franchise.
