Flop Cricketers List IPL 2026: It has been more than a week since IPL 2026 started. The points table has started taking its initial shape, in which Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals are dominating. At present, the Orange Cap is not with any legend like Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma but with 22 year old Sameer Rizvi.
On the other hand, the youth have also shown strength in the Purple Cap race. Its name is IPL, which can make youth stars overnight. But meanwhile, some veterans have left no stone unturned in performing flops. See here the top-10 list of legends who have flopped in IPL 2026 so far.
These legends have flopped so far in IPL 2026
Sanju Samson- Sanju Samson’s bat, which is coming after scoring 3 consecutive fifties in T20 World Cup 2026, has remained silent till now in IPL 2026. For CSK, his scores in 3 innings have been 6, 7 and 9. Only 22 runs in three innings, due to this performance Chennai’s top order seems scattered.
KL Rahul- This time Delhi Capitals has given the responsibility of opening to KL Rahul. But his score in 2 innings has been 0 and 1. Well, the good thing is that despite Rahul’s failure, Delhi has won both the matches so far.
Cameron Green- Cameron Green is facing the pressure of 25.2 crore salary. He has been one of the most flopped players of KKR so far, who has been able to score only 20 runs in 2 innings.
Nicholas Puran- Nicholas Puran, who scored 524 runs at a strike rate of 196.25 last season, has been able to score only 9 runs in 2 matches so far in IPL 2026.
Ruturaj Gaikwad- The bat of Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has also remained silent till now. He has scored only 31 runs in 3 innings.
Glenn Phillips- It was expected that New Zealand’s explosive batsman Glenn Phillips would wreak havoc in IPL 2026. But the statistics say something else, because Phillips has scored only 28 runs in 2 matches.
Liam Livingstone- Sunrisers Hyderabad took a huge risk and bought Liam Livingstone in the mini auction by bidding Rs 13 crores. But no improvement has been seen in Livingstone’s figures. So far, he has played only one match in IPL 2026, in which he scored 14 runs and that too at a poor strike rate of 70.
