The flopped XI of IPL 2021 during the first half of the tournament
Players who couldn't play their parts well in the first half of IPL 2021.
5. Eoin Morgan (captain)
Eoin Morgan’s World Cup triumph has been an inspirational story. He managed to build an English limited-overs squad that has been dominating the circuit. But, in IPL, he has been unable to change the fortunes of KKR. A team that won two IPL trophies in three years is struggling to make it to the playoffs.
Last year, he took over the captaincy duties from Dinesh Karthik mid-season in 2020. However, it was too late for the World Cup-winning captain to revive KKR during that season. But, this year, his teammates have failed him so far. Adding on, 92 runs from 7 innings is a poor performance from a captain and overseas player.
Morgan averaged 15.33 this season with a strike rate of 112.19. Adding on, he captained poorly too. For example, he opened the bowling with Shivam Mavi instead of Pat Cummins against KKR. As a result of which, Shaw smashed him for 25 runs in the first over itself. Well, Captain Morgan has to pull up his socks to ensure that KKR gets into the playoffs.
