Short was one of the worst players in this year's IPL

In simple words, D'Arcy Short failed to replicate the form he illustrated in the Big Bash. He raised the bar, set the tone and bagged himself a place in the national side. However, nothing of that attitude or quality was displayed to the Indian fans.

Brought into the side as a top-order batsman, the southpaw wasted way too many chances given to him by Shane Warne. In 7 matches, he scored a mere 115 runs at a horrendous average of 16.42. Compared to his daunting strike rate of 151 at the BBL, he struck only 116 runs per 100 deliveries in this IPL.

His struggles against spin were clearly scanned by other teams, who started off with a spinner as soon as he arrived to the crease. Out of the 7 times he was dismissed this season, spinners removed him four times. The lad showed poor adaptation and lack of quick decision-making ability to endure a poor outing this Indian summer.
