IPL 2018: 3 players DD are missing from their 2017 squad

#2 Karun Nair (Kings XI Punjab)

Karun Nair is one of those numerous Indian talents who have shown glimpses of their abilities but had issues regarding consistency. Knowing this, DD decided to not have Nair in their 2018 plans. But they might regret their decision now, as Nair is playing exceptionally well for his new franchise Kings XI Punjab.

He has scored 139 runs so far in red and silver colours at a highly impressive average of 34.75. His strike rate of over 140 has been commendable. Alongside openers Chris Gayle and KL Rahul, Nair has been a vital cog in KXIP's batting line-up, and banking on these 3, Punjab are sitting comfortably at the top whereas DD have been handed the humiliating bottom position.
