IPL: All-time flop XI in the tournament history

7. Colin de Grandhomme

Not long ago this New Zealand all-rounder had become a blazing prospect in the IPL auction, all because of his firepower batting proposition along with some wicket-taking seam bowling. Grandhomme collectively looked like a utilitarian package and as a result, was then bagged by teams like RCB and KKR. But in an actual sense rather than giving some sturdy performances for his franchise, the all-rounder even struggled to establish himself in the playing XI.

De Grandhomme, first made his IPL debut in 2017 when KKR’s Andre Russell was banned from playing in that IPL season. In his 12 IPL games in that season, Colin could only score 126 runs and grab only 4 wickets. However, in IPL 2018, the Kiwi was then picked by the RCB camp where he collectively played a total of 13 games across two seasons. But as far as runs and wickets were concerned, De Grandhomme had an arid time in the RCB camp.

Overall, the all-rounder in the IPL has played a total of 25 IPL matches and amassed 303 runs at an average of 18. The cricketer with his seam bowling also has grabbed six wickets. All in all, although De Grandhomme might not be one of the most explosive propositions who’ve played in the IPL, he surely has come up with inferior entertainment with his fair share of opportunities.
