Glenn Maxwell

Once upon a time, Maxwell was a hero for Kings XI Punjab. He single-handedly took the team to its maiden IPL final in 2014.

But, this year he is dubbed as the most expensive flop of the Indian Premier League. Bought for 10.75 crores, Maxwell has a strike rate of below 100 for his 58 runs in past nine matches. He, known for his power-hitting, has not hit a single six in this tournament.

Krunal Pandya

Indian all-rounder Krunal Pandey had a dream debut for the Men in Blue. He scored a half-century on his ODI debut. However, he failed to live up to the momentum. He could not keep up his form with both the bat and bowl and with all-round options like Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, and Shardul Thakur, Krunal could miss out on the squad.
