Sran was taken apart by the KKR openers (Image Courtesy: IPLT20.com)
Barinder Sran created a lot of hype when he made his debut for the Indian side, but that slowly faded away in the face of his inconsistency. The Punjab pacer managed to convince the Mumbai Indians to shell out ₹3.4 crore for him at the auction, but it's safe to say that he was a bad buy.

Sran failed miserably in both the games he got to play in, and never seemed comfortable at the bowling crease. He either strayed in line and bowled to the pads of the batsmen, or delivered juicy half volleys which were dispatched with ease.
Sran couldn't pick up a single wicket and leaked runs at a poor economy rate of 12.75.
He did a decent job for Chandigarh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, but Mumbai have more than enough talent in their team already. They would look to target younger, more pacier fast bowlers in place of Sran.
