IPL 2018: 5 players whose price tags will haunt them

#5 Sarfaraz Khan (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Sarfaraz Khan missed the IPL in 2017 with an injury

For Sarfaraz Khan, more than the ₹3 crore that he was retained for, he will have to justify the retention itself, something that might prove to be a challenge considering his recent form in domestic cricket.

In seven innings in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Sarfaraz made a meagre 70 runs. If he is unable to turn his performances around in the IPL and put in a good performance, he is bound to draw a lot of criticism from everyone watching.

Having said that, Sarfaraz Khan has a strike rate of 173.52 in his IPL career and can play the role of a handy lower-order pinch-hitter.
