Liam Plunkett had a wonderful 2017 as he finished the year with 36 wickets in just 18 matches in limited overs internationals. Naturally, expectations were sky high for him when he was roped in as a replacement for the injured Kagiso Rabada by the Delhi Daredevils.

He made an impressive start in the IPL as he finished with figures of 3/17 in 4 overs in his first match against King XI Punjab. However, that proved to be a false dawn as his performance dipped alarmingly in the upcoming matches. He could only pick up a solitary wicket in his next six matches to finish with 4 wickets from 7 matches at an economy rate of over 9.

With such a disappointing outing in his debut season, he is unlikely to be retained by the Delhi franchise next season.
