IPL 2018: 5 retained players who have failed to perform so far

#1 Kieron Pollard

Kieron Pollard, the West Indian all-rounder has been a mainstay in the Mumbai Indians team ever since he has joined them. He was retained by the franchise following a successful season in 2017 where he scored 385 runs in 17 matches at an average of 29.61 and a strike rate of 139.49.

The team owners and the fans have many expectations from the all-rounder, but he has failed to perform in the season so far. Pollard who is famous for his attacking style of batting is still searching for his breakthrough innings of the season.

In the ongoing season, he has played in 5 matches in which he has scored 54 runs at a strike rate of 105.88. Pollard has not bowled a single over in this season and it indicates that he is being played as a batsman rather than an all-rounder. If his poor show with the bat continues, the team management would be left with no options left but to drop him.
