Hardik Pandya led Gujarat Titans last year and led the team to their first-ever IPL title. His individual performance was also great as he was the highest run-scorer for his team. But he has failed to produce anything special for GT in the 16th edition so far. He has played 4 matches and scored only 49 runs and took only 1 wicket. However, other players from his team have managed to do well and kept the team in the top 4.

2. KL Rahul

Lucknow Super Giants’ skipper KL Rahul is suffering from his bad form for a long time. It was expected that he will be back in form in IPL but that didn’t happen as he continued his poor form in the cash-rich league as well. Rahul got a good start in almost every match but couldn’t convert any of them into a big one. Despite his failures, LSG's other players managed to get victories by providing many great performances.

1. David Warner

Delhi Capitals suffered a huge blow in December last year when their regular skipper Rishabh Pant got injured in a horrific car accident and was ruled out of the IPL. After this, DC named Australian veteran batter David Warner their captain but their decision proved wrong as they are yet open their winning account and have lost 5 consecutive matches in the league so far. Although, Warner managed to get runs in almost every match but his strike rate is pretty low which is one of the reasons why DC are yet to win a match.
