Xtra Time Web Desk : The Indian Premier League 2022 has been no less than a roller coaster cricket bonanza, which has taken the cricket fans by storm as it does every year. This year too has been no different as there have been certain cricketers whom the tournament has given that elusive platform while some established foreign stars haven't been able to live up to the expectations.

So, here's a list of 10 foreign cricketers who unfortunately have been a flop in this season's Indian Premier League till now :

Openers

Kane Williamson (C) : Kane Williamson has undoubtedly been one of the most unexpected picks in this list of flop foreign XI. But the Kiwi batter has unfortunately been just a shadow of himself, with his highest score this season being 57.

Matthew Wade (Wk) : The Australian wicket-keeper batter on the other hand too failed consistently for his franchise Gujarat Titans before getting replaced by Wriddhiman Saha.

Middle order

Nicholas Pooran : The West Indies wicketkeeper-batter, who has often been called a talented cricketer hasn't lived up to his potential after being bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for a sum of over INR 10 crore and has been undoubtedly an underperformer.

Sherfaine Rutherford : The Royal Challengers Bangalore batter who had been one of the options for the franchise's top four before the arrival of Glenn Maxwell was a super flop in all the games he played for his side.

Kieron Pollard : Well past his prime, the big Trinidadian has been just a shadow of his former self. The 34 year old, who recently retired from international cricket, has been unable to finish games for his franchise like he used to do before.

Tim David : A big named INR 8 crore buy for the Mumbai Indians, Tim David has provided nothing but disappoinment to the five time champions in the matches he has played so far. With a reputation of hitting sixes for fun, the Hong Kong batter hasn't hit the ball well.

Lower middle order and bowlers

David Willey : The England all rounder hasn't fulfilled any of the criterion for which he was bought by the RCB franchise and makes the flop list as one of the top contenders.

Pat Cummins : Probably another astonishing pick alongside Kane Williamson, Pat Cummins has had a torrid time with the ball, picking up only four wickets with an economy of 12 runs per over. Although the Aussie Test skipper won a match against Mumbai Indians single handedly with the bat in hand, but has been a flop with the ball till now.

Daniel Sams : The Australian bowling all rounder has had no such effect on the Indian Premier League as has been constantly leaking runs leading his side Mumbai Indians to lose every game so far this season.

Chris Jordan : Another poor performer with the ball, Chris Jordan has been one of the reasons behind Chennai Super Kings' poor show as a bowling unit.

Tymal Mills : The English pacer, who was bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore a few years ago as one of the rising stars in T20 cricket has been a super flop for the Mumbai Indians this season, causing the bowling line up of the franchise to look pale.
