All-time underperforming IPL XI

#2 Aaron Finch

It would come as a surprise for many to see Finch on this list. The destructive right-handed opener is a terrific T20 player and is consistently in the top 3 of ICC rankings for T20Is. Finch also hold the record the for the top 2 highest scores in T20Is where the 172 he blasted against Zimbabwe off 76 balls is the highest.

The destructive right-handed batsman carries an excellent T20 record. In his T20 career so far, Finch has played 239 games and has over 7500 runs at an average of 36.4 and a strike rate of 143. The fact that Finch owns 28 MoM awards in T20 matches makes his record look even better.

Now, let's compare Finch's IPL record with his T20 record minus the IPL record. In the T20 matches other than those of IPL, Finch scores runs at an average of 38 and a devastating strike rate of 145+ whereas the same player has scored 1700+ runs in 75 IPL games at an average of 26 and a strike rate of 130. Moreover, his matches to MoM ratio also dips in the IPL. In the IPL, Finch wins a MoM after every 15 matches whereas in other T20s he wins a MoM after every 7 games. The difference in the stats proves that Finch never brings his 'A' game to the IPL. and hence, is an under-performer.
