IPL: 10 forgotten players
There are certain cricketers who showed a lot of promise but failed to make it big in the IPL.
7. Manvinder Bisla
Manvinder Bisla was one of the dependable wicketkeeper-batters in the Indian domestic circuit. He featured in 49 first-class matches and notched up 2207 runs at an average of 30.23. Coming to the List-A format, the Hisar-born scored 1132 runs at an average of 26.95.
Bisla first broke into the IPL arena in 2010 and did a decent job with the bat for Kings XI Punjab (Punjab Kings), scoring 218 runs in 10 games at a strike rate of 122.47. However, he rose to prominence in 2012 during his stint for Kolkata Knight Riders.
Bisla featured in seven games and scored 213 runs at a strike rate of 133.12. He came to his own in the summit clash of IPL 2012 against Chennai Super Kings and played a blistering knock of 89 runs off 48 deliveries to help KKR clinch their maiden IPL title.
However, the former wicketkeeper-batter failed to carry on the good work in the IPL in the seasons to come. Overall, he played 39 matches in the lucrative T20 tournament and scored 798 runs at a strike rate of 113.68.
