IPL 2018: Worst players from each team

#8 Manish Pandey (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

Manish Pandey

Even a team with SRH's perfection, class and flamboyance had their weaknesses. They lost just five games in the league stage - and there was something in common with those defeats - a top order failure.

Apart from their impeccable bowling line up, the onus was always on Kane Williamson and Shikhar Dhawan to keep the scoreboard ticking. Their senior most middle-order batsman Manish Pandey was simply disappointing throughout the course of the season. Prior to the innings of 62* against RCB, he had scored just 189 runs in 12 innings, striking them at 111 with an awful average of 21.

If the top order failed, Manish Pandey usually bit the dust along with them too. With his level of experience, it was extremely amateurish from him to be dismissed numerously due to poor shot-selection as such. As a result, he was dropped for the Playoff matches.
