IPL is a platform where the best cricketers from every corner of the world play. The pressure is so much that great players who get salaries worth crores flop. At the same time, cricketers sold at base price also do wonders. IPL 2026 has also had a similar situation, because big giants have flopped here.

On one hand, 26-year-old Bhuvneshwar Kumar remains the holder of the Purple Cap. But on the other hand, famous players like Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav have failed to deliver top-class performance even after paying a lot of money. Meanwhile, a social media user has posted his scam playing eleven.

IPL 2026 scam playing 11

This playing eleven includes those players whose IPL salary is in crores of rupees, but their performance is just the opposite. Like Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad takes Rs 18 crore, his average this season was only 28. Rohit could not play all the league matches due to injury, but his performance in the remaining 9 matches was mediocre.

Ruturaj Gaikwad: In IPL 2026, Ruturaj Gaikwad was able to score 337 runs in 14 matches. He gets Rs 18 crore from CSK.

Rohit Sharma: Did not play all league matches due to injury. Could score 283 runs after playing 9 matches. Rohit gets a salary of Rs 16.30 crore from MI.

Suryakumar Yadav: One of the main reasons for Mumbai’s failure was the absence of Suryakumar Yadav. Could score only 270 runs at a poor average of 20.77.

Rishabh Pant: Rishabh Pant, the most expensive player in IPL history, failed as captain. Individually, he could score only 312 runs in 14 matches. He gets Rs 27 crore from LSG.

Nicholas Puran: Rishabh Pant’s team member Nicholas Puran takes a salary of Rs 21 crore in Lucknow Super Giants. His average in IPL 2026 was only 18.

Jitesh Sharma: The biggest weakness of RCB’s middle over was Jitesh Sharma. Only 105 runs have been scored in 15 matches. He has not scored a single fifty in the entire season.

Hardik Pandya: Hardik Pandya, who took a salary of Rs 16.35 crore from Mumbai Indians, has been able to score only 430 runs in the last 2 seasons. As a captain, he had to face a lot of criticism.

Washington Sundar: Sundar did not bowl much in IPL 2026, so he was expected to do well in batting. He scored 311 runs in 15 matches, but could not play many match-winning innings.

Arshdeep Singh: Arshdeep Singh, who leads the bowling attack of Punjab Kings, takes a salary of Rs 18 crore. But in IPL 2026, he could take only 14 wickets in 14 matches.

Jasprit Bumrah: Another main reason for MI’s failure. Bumrah, who usually bowls accurately, had the highest economy rate in the last 10 years. This time Bumrah could take only 4 wickets in 14 matches.

Trent Boult: Even Trent Boult’s swing this time did not have the same edge as before. In IPL 2026, he played only five matches and could take only 2 wickets.

MS Dhoni: MS Dhoni was also included in this scam playing eleven list. Dhoni did not play a single match in the season, but kept the fans’ hopes up by continuously giving hints of his comeback.

Scam Playing XI of IPL 2026: Rohit Sharma, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Nicholas Pooran, Jitesh Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, MS Dhoni
