IPL 2019: 5 players who teams will regret releasing this season

#1 Vijay Shankar - Delhi Capitals

Shankar has been in sensational form for Team India

Another player who Delhi Capitals might regret losing from last year is Vijay Shankar. Shankar has been a consistent performer in the domestic circuit which helped him earn a big paycheck at last year's auction. By the start of the tournament, Shankar had made his international debut for India in the Nidahas trophy.

Interestingly, despite having a decent season, Shankar was traded by Delhi Capitals in the move to bring Shikhar Dhawan to the club. The all-rounder scored 212 runs at an amazing average of 53 and high strike-rate of 143.24 in the 2018 edition. At the time Delhi Capitals traded Shankar, he wasn't part of India's ODI and T20 squads. However, Hardik Pandya's unavailability provided an opportunity to Shankar and he has made full use of it. The 28-year-old has been in sensational form with the bat and is in the reckoning for a place in India's World Cup squad. Delhi Capitals' think tank will surely have second thoughts about the move seeing his recent exploits.
