Ranking top 10 worst player retentions in IPL history
Talking about the auctions and the players, the franchises have thrown up multiple surprises. Usually, these surprises come in the form of retention.
5. Jayant Yadav, DD
During the 2016-2017 season. Jayant Yadav was a regular member of the Indian Test team. Adding on, he played some quality knocks along with Virat Kohli during the Test series against England. It looked like he had a bright career in front of him.
But, the tides turned as the off-spinner had a disappointing season with the Delhi-based franchise. Yadav was retained for the 2017 season. During that edition, he played few games and was not successful. This affected the team’s chances of making an impact.
This is not surprising because of the limited number of chances he got. If a bowler gets only six overs to bowl in a tournament, it clearly shows that the franchise is not interested in the player. Later on, he was traded to the Mumbai Indians where he was a part of the playing eleven in the final.
