What Went Wrong for the 4 teams that missed out on the IPL Playoffs

#1 Delhi Daredevils

DD's gamble on Maxwell failed

Delhi looked a promising team but eventually failed to live up to the hype. The failure of their overseas batsmen was very costly for them. Jason Roy won them a game, but apart from that they never really got going, while Munro never really had a good game.

Glenn Maxwell was so woefully out of form that Delhi were effectively playing with just 10 players in all games that he played in. Consequently, all the burden for scoring runs fell on the core of Indian youngsters, who though are talented are very inexperienced and were found out in the pressure situations.

The mid-way change in leadership didn't help their case either.

Some of their impact players such as Amit Mishra and especially the Nepali teen sensation Sandeep Lamichhane just didn't get enough games.

However, there are enough positives for Delhi to be hopeful about and had Morris and Rabada not gotten injured then who knows, perhaps they would have had a better IPL.
