5 Faded IPL stars - Where are they now?
In the last 12 seasons, some players were successful in achieving their dreams and some talented cricketers faded away with time.
2. Kamran Khan
Kamran Khan, the left-arm fast bowler from Uttar Pradesh came into IPL on the back of his pure talent. Rajasthan Royals coach Darren Berry spotted him during a local T20 tournament where he impressed everyone with his pacy yorkers. Kamran was given an IPL contract worth Rs 17 Lakhs by the franchise and he travelled with Royals to South Africa in the second season of Indian Premier League.
The left-hander grabbed six wickets in his debut season. He also helped Royals in winning a crucial Super over against Kolkata Knight Riders. However, soon his bowling action was brought under the scanner that was called for chucking by umpire Rudi Koertzen during a match. He was sent to rehab for a couple of weeks but he failed to produce the same performance again with his new bowling action.
Soon, the dream run of Kamran Khan came to an end. He was picked by Pune Warriors back in 2011 and he got one chance to prove his worth. But, he yet again failed to produce a breakthrough performance for his team. After that, he never played an IPL game. He also played in the Sri Lankan Premier League for Colts in 2013. And as per records, his last T20 appearance came in 2013 playing in the same. There have been certain reports that now he works in his brother’s farm field.
