The right-handed middle-order batsman from Australia, Ashton Turner, impressed everyone with his cool mind and big hits during the India-Australia ODI series this year. He didn’t get to play any games at the start with Royals preferring to go with Jos Buttler, Steven Smith, and Ben Stokes. When he did get his chance, Turner struggled to get off the mark, scoring three ducks in a row. His last innings yielded just 3 runs and the Aussie was dropped in favour of Liam Livingstone by the franchise.

6. Ben Stokes (Rajasthan Royals)

Rajasthan had spent big bucks (12.5 cr) on the maverick English all-rounder during last year’s auctions. But like last year, Ben Stokes had another disappointing campaign, scoring just 123 runs and picking up just 6 wickets from 9 matches. He did take a blinder of a catch at backward point but it was all he had to show for efforts this year. The Royals may offload him ahead of next year’s auctions to have some money in their transfer kitty.
