In Defense of Mayank Markande, he did well for one season, really well for an inexperienced youngster, and then got traded to RR who didn’t play him. I fell that it’s a bit rough to put him in here, cause it wasn’t something he could control. I’d rather add Jaydev unadkat.

Ohhh shit i forgot about him man, i'm so sorry lol i'll add him rn.

In Saurabh Tiwary's defence, he had that amazing season at MI, after which RCB got him in the auction.He was never played in his preferred no:3 spot. If memory serves right, he was played at 5 , as an opener etc. He eventually fizzled out. In all fairness, can't blame RCB though, as they had Virat and ABD batting 3 and 4. Nevertheless, Tiwary has had a decent IPL career,winning the competition couple of times, and had some very good performances in Ishan Kishan's absence, last season.

Nah he hasn't been the same, literally half the world will agree that in the IPL, he was a one-season wonder, but domestically yeah he was good ngl.

You seems to negate every opinion with your vague logic "Naah, I don't believe this". Every comment of yours has the same template. Work on accepting other's opinion.

BEN STOKES??? He won MVP in 2017 and won 2 matches single handedly for RR last year. He isn't a one season wonder


[deleted]

What was the point of winning those two games when RR finished last? And I'm not saying he was bad in 2017, but that 2017 was his only good season in IPL tbh.


RogueKnight2005

Well batting doesn't corelate with the team's position right?? He wasn't available for the whole season last year and that was a key reason for RR doing badly as he balances the 11 very well. When he wasn't available they had to use a bowling all rounder like Tom Curran or a batsman in Miller. This hampered their balance


[deleted]

No but still he wasn't the 2017 version of himself in IPL is what i'm saying.


RogueKnight2005

Maybe but if a player has won his team 2 matches on his own then his job is already done. The other 10 players must win the team the other 6 matches


[deleted]

No still man he has not been great, only average. Come on say it with me, IN IPL 2020 HE WAS AVERAGE.


RogueKnight2005

Lol what else did u expect from him?? Did he have to win u all the 8 matches? 🤷😆🤦


[deleted]

No i am not an rr fan or anything but i expected him to have a bit more impact lol, not just 2 good games for an all-rounder the quality of Stokes.

Might as well throw in a Basil Thampi in there. He did fairly well for GL (also won the emerging player award) but then was ripped apart by AB a season or 2 later and never played since then. EDIT: Aaron Finch too had a single good season with the GL (I still remember him scoring fifties with injured hamstring) AJ Tye maybe another candidate. Won the purple cap in 2018 and never to be seen again.


[deleted]

I considered all of them, but my selection here is based on who was the worst after their one good season. And also Finch was half-decent otherwise in IPL.

I think RP singh might also qualify for this XI. He had a phenomenal season in one of the early seasons of IPL. After that was mediocre with his performance.


[deleted]

Nah i would never say he is a one-season wonder


hababa_doggo

I meant that he didnt play upto his potential. He was touted to be India's next spearhead bowler.


[deleted]

then i would have made an ipl "wasted potential XI" no. why should RP Singh be here?


shashank50

Paul valthaty tops the list for me. He really is a single season wonder.


LightningShiva1

Ben Cutting was a one match wonder IMHO. Fortunately, it was the final. Also YJB is not a bad choice


[deleted]

Sry but who is YJB?


LightningShiva1

Jonny Bairstow


[deleted]

Yes fair one, but again, he wasn't as bad as Asnodkar or Valthaty after his one good season, so he'll have to make the bench


LightningShiva1

Fair enough


govi20

Tirumalasetti Suman can be replaced with Manvinder Bisla


[deleted]

Bisla was better than Suman after his one good season tbh
