5)Anrich Nortje

Delhi Capitals showed great faith in Nortje as they retained the South African speedster despite him coming into the IPL after a long injury lay-off.

Nortje couldn’t live up to his billing. He went for plenty of runs, taking seven wickets in six games at an economy rate of 13.36.

Nortje also entered the record books for bowling the most expensive final over in IPL history when he was hit for 32 runs in the last over against Mumbai Indians with Romario Shepherd hitting him for four sixes and two fours.

Nortje also conceded the most sixes by a bowler in the death overs in IPL 2024, conceding 15 sixes in total between the 16th and 20th over.

4} Devdutt Padikkal

Devdutt Padikkal  had a forgettable season for his new team.
The left-hander just couldn’t get the runs even though he was included despite repeated failures.

He had an amazing domestic season and also had an good outing with india team against england  with one of the test match he played

Padikkal’s highest score in the seven matches that he played was 13, while he fell for under 19 in the other six knocks for poor returns of 38 runs in seven games.

3) Aiden Markram

Aiden Markram From captaining SRH last season to finding himself on the bench, it has been a tough IPL 2024 for Markram. The experience lad had let the sunriser eastern cape  with back to back SA 2o trophy failed to capitalise with Bat after losing captaincy for the franchise

Markram struggled for consistency with 220 runs from 11 games at a strike rate of 124. He failed in the crucial last two games — in the Eliminator Match against Rajasthan Royals and the final against KKR.

2) Hardik Pandya

Pandya’s shock move to Mumbai Indians turned out to be a major flop for both him and the team.

Pandya replaced Rohit Sharma as MI captain leaving the fans stunned, who booed him throughout the IPL.

He struggled under the pressure of captaining a big team like MI, who finished bottom of the standings with four wins from 14 games.

He also couldn’t inspire the team with bat and ball, as he scored 216 runs from 14 games without a fifty, while taking 11 wickets at an economy rate of more than 10

1)Glenn Maxwell

Maxwell was the biggest flop of IPL 2024. The Australian all-rounder could not reproduce his magic of the 2023 World Cup as he struggled to produce the runs for RCB.

Maxwell managed just 52 runs from 10 innings, which included only two scores in double digits, while he fell for ducks four times in the season.
Maxwell missed a couple of games citing mental and physical fatigue mid-IPL but even that could not get his batting back on track.

His most disappointing knock came in the most important game for RCB -in the Eliminator match against Rajasthan Royals, when he fell for a first ball duck trying to hit Ravichandran Ashwin out of the park even without getting his eye in.
