Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav, the Mumbaikar was a mainstay in the Kolkata Knight Riders' squad over the years. His below average performance for the team led to his ouster. In the auction, Mumbai Indians bought him for a price of Rs. 3.2 crore which turned out to be a steal.

Suryakumar Yadav proved to be one of the best batsmen of the season. He was consistent throughout the season, providing his team head starts in most of the matches. He scored 512 runs in 14 matches at an average of 36.57 and a strike rate of 133.33.

Kolkata Knight Riders must definitely be regretting leaving out the player they honed over the years. Had he been part of the squad, Kolkata Knight Riders must have definitely finished higher on the points table and might have played the final of the tournament.
