10 Players you never knew were part of these IPL teams
There are certain players who have featured in the IPL and were part of teams but not a lot of people know about it.
5. Mark Boucher – Kolkata Knight Riders
For the first three seasons, Mark Boucher was a significant part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) setup. He often batted at No. 6 and 7 and was the team’s finisher. However, not a lot of them know that Boucher even played after the 2010 season. He played 27 games for RCB across three seasons and did go unsold in the 2011 auctions.
However, the South African wicket-keeper batsman flew in as a replacement for Tim Paine who played a couple of games. The Australian stumper injured his middle finger during Australia’s tour of Bangladesh after the 2011 World Cup which didn’t heal completely. Hence, Boucher who was originally in the commentary panel was announced as the replacement.
But Boucher played just four games. He batted in three of those returning with 0 not out, 5 and 1 not out. That was the last time he featured in an IPL season.
