#2 Carlos Brathwaite - Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata Knight Riders bought Carlos Brathwaite for an eye-popping amount of 5 crore at the auction. KKR will be the third IPL team Brathwaite will represent in his fourth year of IPL. And the reason for this is his underwhelming performance in the IPL so far. After his last over heroics in the final of the World T20 against England, Brathwaite was seen as the next big thing in T20 cricket. But unfortunately, despite showing flashes of brilliance, he has failed to live up to expectations.
In 14 IPL games, the 30-year-old has scored just 170 runs at a below-par average of 15.45. With the ball, he has 13 scalps to his name while conceding runs at a poor economy of 8.9 runs per over.
The Windies T20 skipper hasn't set the stage on fire in international cricket either.
Also, KKR already have all-rounders like Andre Russell and Sunil Narine in their squad and spending so much on Brathwaite might not bring desired results for the franchise.
