Team-wise one player who was lucky to be retained
The players who got retained despite their underwhelming performances were fortunate to get another chance and hence there will be pressure on them to be assiduous and provide solid figures next time.
4. Washington Sundar (Sunrisers Hyderabad)
Last year, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) roped in Washington Sundar at INR 8.75 crore at the mega auction. His ability to perform as an all-rounder was the reason why he was picked but his failure with both bat and ball hurt SRH.
His ordinary batting and bowling displays couldn’t justify his price tag. He played nine game and could score only 101 runs. On the other hand, only six wickets at an unpleasant economy of 8.54 added insult to injury.
As SRH have retained him for the next season, he would consider himself fortunate for getting the chance to do justice with his price tag again by delivering class performances for the franchise. His recent performances in New Zealand must have bolstered his confidence and it's likely that fans will get to see a different version of him in the next edition.
