IPL 2019: Unlucky XI of the season so far

It is a fact that participating in a Global Twenty 20 tournament like The Indian Premier League is like a dream come true for a young budding Cricketer. A tournament like IPL not only gives money and fame to the cricketers but a good performance in the league also opens the doors for them to the national team selection. It also provides an opportunity for the players who are currently out of the national team to make a comeback into the team.

IPL consists of a lot of talented players from across the world. So, breaking into the playing 11 of any IPL franchise is really a task. There have been a few instances where some of the players have missed out in the playing 11 due to stiff competition in the side or in order to provide a certain kind of a balance to the team.

Here are the unlucky XI of the IPL 2019.

1. Murali Vijay

The opening batsman from Chennai has been an integral part of the Indian test team as an opener and has done a decent job. He has represented Chennai Super Kings, Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Capitals in IPL. Murali Vijay has scored a couple of centuries in IPL with the highest score of 127 in just 56 balls in the 2010 edition of IPL. He has an experience of more than 100 matches in IPL and averages 26.4.

Nicknamed “Monk” by his teammates, he has played a solitary match in IPL 2019 against Mumbai Indians and was the highest scorer for CSK in a losing cause when he scored 38 runs.
