The Indian Premier League (IPL) has completed 12 seasons of its existence, each one more exciting than the other. The development graph is moving upwards and onwards, with the tournament getting bigger and better every year. With the auction set to be hosted in less than two months for the next year, the fans will soon get into the vibe which will remain till the end of the tournament.

The IPL has given a great opportunity for so many youngsters to rub shoulders with some of the <a href="https://twitter.com/Cricketracker/status/1187944128010543104" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>best</strong></a> in the business. While it can turn out to be very fruitful for some, it might not be so for some others. The same applies to some overseas cricketers as well, who did spend some time in the IPL but failed to make their presence felt.

Here are five cricketers who were a part of the IPL, but their presence was never acknowledged by the masses

One of Zimbabwe&#8217;s most prolific names, Tatenda Taibu retired from the game at a very young age, but he did leave his mark. Debuting for the national side at just 18, Taibu made fast progress and was rated as one of the best keeper-batsmen during his prime days. He also held the record for being the youngest Test captain for 15 years, before Rashid Khan broke it this September.

Taibu was picked up by the Kolkata Knight Riders, which already had some superstar players like Brendon McCullum, Ricky Ponting, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-chief-sourav-ganguly-feels-infrastructure-not-the-only-reason-behind-ranchi-tests-poor-turnout/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Sourav Ganguly</strong></a> and Shoaib Akhtar. He got to play just 3 matches for the side and ended up scoring just 15 runs. That was his first and last association with the tournament.

Taibu retired from international cricket in 2012 to concentrate on his work in the church. He later did make a comeback after six years and played in the Premier League tournament in Sri Lanka, but was not in contention to get back in the international side.<br>

One of the most charismatic swing bowlers the game has seen, Kyle Mills was a master at his art, often under-appreciated. The Kiwi bowler did some outstanding work for the national side and played his last ODI game just a couple of months prior to the 2015 World Cup, where New Zealand reached the final.

Kyle Mills had two stints in the IPL which remained unmemorable. He was picked up by the Kings XI Punjab in his first season and was then picked up by the Mumbai Indians for the second edition. Unfortunately for the tall-healthy pacer, he never got to play a game.

After many years, the New Zealander will be back in the tournament, in a different role. The Kolkata Knight Riders have appointed him as the head bowling coach for the upcoming season and will be partnered by his countrymate <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cpl-2019-trinbago-knight-riders-celebrate-brendon-mccullums-birthday-and-its-a-wild-one/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Brendon McCullum</strong></a>, who is the head coach and David Hussey, the chief mentor.<br>

A name very popularly remembered in the IPL as a coach, it might come as a surprise for many to see Darren Lehmann as a player. The former Australian all-rounder, who was a part of two World Cup-winning squads in 1999 and 2003, was in the fag end of his career and interestingly, his stint in the IPL was his last professional assignment as a player.

Lehmann was picked up by the Rajasthan Royals in the first edition. He got to play two games for the side, scoring just 18 runs. Rajasthan Royals went on to win the trophy quite convincingly under the stewardship of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/shane-warne-picks-his-australia-xi-for-brisbane-test-against-pakistan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Shane Warne</strong></a> and that was Lehmann&#8217;s first IPL winning medal.

The next one didn&#8217;t take time, but it came as a head coach. Deccan Chargers appointed him as the head coach in 2009 and the side went on to win the trophy after an enthralling finale in Johannesburg.<br>

Although many remember Phillip Hughes as the cricketer who died on the field, the youngster had done many commendable things in a very short span. He scored a hundred on his ODI debut, became the youngest in history to score twin-hundreds in Test cricket and also became the first Aussie to score a List-A double hundred.

The southpaw had a thing or two about him which attracted the audience very much. He was picked up by the Mumbai Indians in 2011 after some impressive performances in the domestic circuit. Despite not getting a game, he made his mark among some of the senior cricketers.

Hughes passed away on 27th November 2014 after battling for two days in the hospital.<br>

A name that does so many rounds in the Indian domestic circuit on a regular basis, Faiz Fazal helped Vidarbha win the Ranji Trophy two times in a row. His commendable leadership helped the team scale new heights, but for some reason, despite putting up so many good performances, he has not been considered for a national call-up.

Fazal played one game in Indian colours against Zimbabwe, where he scored a half-century and remained unbeaten. Just the way not many people remember his ODI debut, his time with the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/rr-rajasthan-royals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Rajasthan Royals</strong></a> in the IPL went unnoticed. He was with them for three seasons from 2009 to 2011.

He could represent the team just 12 times in this time period, scoring 183 runs at a strike-rate just above 100. His time with the side was not very memorable and he didn&#8217;t get to play an IPL game after the 2011 edition.

5 cricketers you never knew were a part of the IPL

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has completed 12 seasons of its existence, each one more exciting than the other. The development graph
