#6 Ben Stokes

In eight games Stokes has just made 160 runs at an average of 17.77 and an underwhelming strike-rate of 123.07, a stark difference from his strike-rate of 142.98 last year. The most valuable player of the 2017 IPL and the most expensive overseas layer this season, English all-rounder Ben Stokes has had a pretty ordinary IPL thus far.

While on the bowling front, he has been guilty of bowling too many loose balls that have accounted for 218 runs for just two wickets at an average of 109.00, he hasn't set the stage on fire with the bat as well.

#7 Wriddhiman Saha (Wicket-Keeper)

Saha's wicketkeeping skills have come under scrutiny too, having dropped catches at crucial junctures.

The Indian Test wicketkeeper has played crucial roles for his previous franchise Kings XI Punjab in the past, most pivotal being his hundred in 2014 final.

But the 2018 season for Sunrisers Hyderabad has been a rather ordinary one for the Bengal lad. Apart from his batting that has seen him scrap to just 87 runs in ten games, Saha's wicketkeeping skills have come under scrutiny too, having dropped catches at crucial junctures.
