4. Carlos Brathwaite to Kolkata Knight Riders:
Investing such a large amount in Brathwaite might not have been the best decision in hindsight. Kolkata Knight Riders may have considered him a backup for the injury-prone Andre Russell, who was in red-hot form throughout the season.
However, Brathwaite scored only 11 runs in the two matches he played. His bowling isn’t something he is known for, and he didn’t pick a single wicket. His economy rate was 9.66 runs per over.
Given his record over the past three seasons, Brathwaite’s time in the IPL hasn’t been impressive and the chances of him being retained for the next season are slim. However, he could well fit in the plans for Sunrisers Hyderabad down the order with Yusuf Pathan’s hitting is waning.
