IPL 2018: 4 wrong choices of players that could prove costly for franchises

#2 Jason Roy

Jason Roy's last IPL season did not go as planned.

The Delhi Daredevils were the most enthusiastic team on the day of the auction, picking bucket-full of players and getting all bases covered.

The men in red and blue picked England opener Jason Roy after having Gautam Gambhir, Colin Munro, Prithvi Shaw, Rishab Pant and Shreyas Iyer as specialist openers. To shift Roy in the middle order may not be a wise option since he played at that position for the Gujarat Lions last season and didn't enjoy much success.

All in all, Roy does not add to the balance of the Delhi Daredevils and may have been a useful player for some other franchise.
