5 Worst player releases by franchises in IPL history
They were released by a certain franchise and they found a lot of success for their new team.
5. Yuzvendra Chahal by MI
The first time Yuzvendra Chahal was seen in the IPL, it was in the Mumbai Indians (MI) colour. In fact, before making his IPL debut, Chahal played a few Champions League T20 games for the Mumbai franchise. In 2013, he made his IPL debut and had a very sedate start.
He played just one game and in 2014, he was picked up by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) during the auctions. Since then, he has become their lead spinner. Moreover, he did well too and has dwelled under the leadership of Virat Kohli.
In 2015 and 2016, he took 45 wickets across two seasons at a strike-rate of 12.8. He was one of the reasons for RCB’s success during those two editions (in 2015, they finished third while in 2016, they lost in the final). Hence, MI have struggled to find a consistent spinner since then. Hence, it was one of the worst releases in the history of the IPL.
