Tiwary played for Challengers for three years from 2011 to 2013 but couldn’t live upto the expectations. In his+ three-year stint with Bangalore, he played 46 matches but scored only 578 runs at a miserable strike rate of 106.64.</p>
<p>Disenchanted with his performance, the RCB team management parted ways with him before the 2014 IPL season. In 2017, MI won their third IPL title under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy and Tiwary was a member of the champion team. In his second stint with Mumbai, Saurav got only one game from the team management and scored 52 off 43 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens.</p>

<p>Parthiv Patel joined RCB in 2014 but couldn't justify his role as a batter. He scored 205 runs in 12 matches at a strike rate of 110.82. Noting his non-performance, the RCB dropped him from their 2015 IPL squad.&nbsp;</p>
<p>From 2015 to 2017, Parthiv served MI as an opener and scored 911 runs in 40 matches at a strike rate of 131.83. In MI’s second and third trophies wins, Parthiv made decent contributions from his bat. In 2015, he scored 395 runs in 16 matches at a strike rate of 134.81 while in 2017, he scored 339 runs in 14 games.</p>

The southpaw scored 376 runs in 14 matches at a strike rate of 135.25 and ended up as the team’s second-leading run-scorer in the season. However, his performance couldn’t satiate RCB and their team management as they parted ways with him before the 2015 auction.</p>
<p>The veteran became a part of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 2016 IPL auction for INR 7 crore. Yuvraj contributed 236 runs in 10 matches in the Orange Army’s title win.

<p>In the 2014 auction, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) picked up Pandey for INR 1.70 crore. The right-handed batter played a crucial role in KKR’s title win, scoring a match-winning 94 off 50 against Punjab Kings (Kings XI Punjab) in the final played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.</p>
