IPL 2018: 4 players Kings XI Punjab regret letting go

#1 Sandeep Sharma

Sandeep Sharma should have been retained instead of Axar Patel.

His ability to swing the ball both ways on dead pitches has caught the attention of a lot of eyeballs. Sandeep has got to play a total of 11 games so far this season and has taken 11 wickets at a brilliant economy of 7.02. Sandeep Sharma, one of the most successful bowlers in the IPL, has been a vital cog for Sunrisers Hyderabad in their dream run this season. The young pacer has led Hyderabad's pace attack during the absence of Bhuvneshwar Kumar without any flaw.

In spite of having a stellar record while playing for KXIP, he did not get the nod from his former franchise which turned out to be one of the biggest blunders made by Punjab. Had KXIP retained Sandeep Sharma instead of Axar Patel, they could have sailed to the playoffs as the combination of Andrew Tye and Sandeep Sharma would have formed the best bowling pair.
