5 worst retentions by the franchises ahead of IPL 2018

CLT20 2012 Chennai Super Kings v Mumbai Indians
Kieron Pollard

Kieron Pollard was bought back by the Mumbai Indians using the RTM ahead of Jos Buttler, and in the end, it proved to be a terrible decision. Pollard’s prowess as a T20 specialist has diminished over the years and he has been struggling to get going across various leagues in the world.

Pollard’s striking ability against pace has been found out in this season’s IPL and his strike rate is awfully low which has made things difficult for Rohit Sharma and company.

After a series of poor performances, Pollard has been dropped from the side, but it has also put Mumbai Indians in a desperate situation to win all their remaining games to stand any chance of making it to the playoffs.
