5 players that may have gone out of favor with IPL franchises

Angelo Mathews

If you thought Tahir Shah’s ‘Angel’ was head-splitting, Delhi got Angelo. In one of the games, he got promoted ahead of the in-form Chris Morris and single-handedly killed all the excitement with his drab strokeplay. Such a healthy advertisement for Test cricket, I say.

Mathews is the ideal spinner: three-step run-ups, excessive off-cutters, no pace in deliveries and astronomical economies. Surprisingly, they still refer to him as a medium pacer.

If Delhi looks to repeat their IPL 2017 heroics next year as well, Mathews is the player they would love to retain.
