IPL 2018: Players franchises should not retain
A lot of people have their opinions on who to retain, but what about the ones that shouldn't be.
4. Royal Challengers Bangalore
RCB shouldn’t retain- Tymal Mills, Travis Head, Chris Gayle, Shane Watson and Kedar Jadhav
Chris Gayle and Shane Watson might have been top T20 performers for a significant period of time but considering their recent increasingly frequent injuries and diminishing consistency, it will be wise to go for a young replacement in Evin Lewis rather than retaining them. Watson hardly managed to score 71 runs in 8 matches which is not a reasonable tally for retention.
The less said about Tymal Mills the better considering how poor his performances were after being purchased for an inflated sum increasing expectations to a whole new level. He managed to pick just 5 wickets in 5 matches which certainly is not a fair return on investment.
Travis Head has failed to make his presence felt so far as he managed just 151 runs in 7 matches in the previous edition and is also not a regular part of the Australian cricket team. Kedar Jadhav, on the other hand, can be a good option for a Right to match card considering his talent but does not deserve a retention having scored 267 runs in 13 matches.
