IPL 2024 has been an exciting tournament so far. The 10 franchises have given their all on the field. The first half of the tournament is done and dusted already, with Rajasthan Royals almost qualifying for the playoffs, while Royal Challengers Bengaluru are almost out of the race to the next round.
While it has been a memorable competition for most of the batters, it has been a nightmare for the bowlers. Several teams have tried and tested lots of players already, and here’s a look at five popular names who were dropped after just one game this season.
1. Shamar Joseph was dropped after 1 match in IPL 2024
West Indies fast bowler Shamar Joseph came into the limelight after his heroics in Gabba. The pacer had a forgettable outing on debut against KKR at Eden Gardens as he leaked 47 runs in four wicketless overs.
2. Jhye Richardson was dropped after 1 match in IPL 2024
Jhye Richardson is another fast bowler to feature on the list. The Australian speedster is a member of Delhi Capitals this year, and he returned with figures of 0/40 in four overs on DC debut.
3. Marco Jansen
Sunrisers Hyderabad have an incredible bunch of overseas talent, which has kept the competition tight in the playing XI. South African speedster Marco Jansen is on the bench after going for 40 runs in three overs against Kolkata Knight Riders.
4. Matthew Wade
Veteran Australian wicketkeeper Matthew Wade played for Gujarat Titans in their victorious outing against Rajasthan Royals. He scored four runs before losing his stumps and got dropped for the next game.
5. Atharva Taide
Uncapped Indian batter Atharva Taide played some impressive knocks for Punjab Kings in the past. However, in this season, he was dropped after scoring 15 runs in one game.
