#5 Carlos Brathwaite
The West Indian was picked up for INR 5 crore in the auctions for the 2019 IPL, presumably as a back-up to Andre Russell, whose encounters with injuries are well known. He played two games for KKR and went wicketless whilst also being expensive, conceding runs at just a little less than 10 an over.

He was also unable to perform with the bat in hand in the lower middle order, and KKR might want to let him go and search for another replacement for Russell.
Though Brathwaite played the humdinger knock in the 2016 World T20 Cup finals to help his team win the title and then churned out another magnificent showing with the bat against New Zealand this year in the World Cup, he has remained inconsistent and does not inspire confidence.
His IPL record does not make for good reading either. He averages just 13.92 with the bat in 16 games and has leaked runs at over 9 an over. He has been underwhelming and could be released by the team.
