If you exclude that match and look at the averages of the last 3 years, Imrul is worse than the child beater.

One career saving innings on a fantasy pitch shouldn't mean that he gets to continue to drag this team down.
If you're going to cherry pick like that, then you should also exclude runs on flat ZACS too. That case child beater's average will come down to 20.47, Imrul 26.56, Momin 26.35. Not saying there is any reason to be happy with Imrul, but other options are also poor. Imrul is not the weakest link as you Soumya fans make him to be.
