IPL: 10 forgotten players
There are certain cricketers who showed a lot of promise but failed to make it big in the IPL.
3. Corey Anderson
Corey Anderson has been a ferocious striker of the cricket ball and was known to dismantle bowling attacks with his swashbuckling stroke play. Also, he has been a wily customer with the ball and chipped in with crucial wickets.
The Christchurch-born has plundered 2770 runs in 152 T20 games at a strike rate of 138.36 and bagged 36 wickets at an economy of 9.06. He was a match-winner with the bat for New Zealand too and notched up 485 runs in 31 T20Is at a strike rate of 138.17.
Witnessing his exploits, Mumbai Indians signed him for the 2014 season. The former Kiwi batter was brilliant with the bat and smashed 265 runs in 12 matches at a strike rate of 146.40, which includes a breathtaking knock of 95* runs off 44 balls in a must-win game against Rajasthan Royals in the 56th game of the T20 carnival.
However, he was dismal with his performances in the coming seasons and was not able to set the IPL arena on fire with his batting exploits. Also, he did not have much impact with the ball too. Overall, the ace all-rounder has scored 538 runs in 30 matches at a strike rate of 127.19 and bagged 11 wickets at an alarming rate of 10.46.
