Top 5 players who will miss IPL 2018
1) David Warner
David Warner, the Australian opener who is one of the most feared batsmen around the world, will be most missed in this season of IPL 2018.
Steve Smith
Along with David Warner and Cameron Bancroft, Australian skipper Steve Smith was found guilty of ball tampering charges.
Joe Root
Joe Root, the current captain of England’s Test cricket team, has scored over 10,000 runs in international cricket across all formats. But, surprisingly, he went unpicked at the IPL 2018 auctions.
Lasith Malinga
Lasith Malinga has been incredibly successful and probably the most destructive in the IPL series. He has taken a total of 154 wickets in 110 IPL matches.
Nathan Coulter-Nile
Ace New Zealand all-rounder has been roped in as a replacement for injured Royal Challengers Banglaore star Nathan Coulter-Nile, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced on Saturday.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
