IPL 2022: 5 players you might not know were once Virat Kohli's teammates
There have been various big names who have played alongside Kohli in IPL and fans don't remember them much now.
5. Dirk Nannes (2011)
The left-arm pacer, Dirk Nannes has been one of the few players to have played for two international teams – Australia and the Netherlands. Nannes who was known for his tight lines was purchased by the RCB at $650,000 in the 2011 IPL auction.
However, Nannes only managed to complete one match for the franchise before getting injured due to a side strain and being unavailable for the rest of the season. The left-arm pacer was replaced by West Indian batter Chris Gayle who went unsold in the 2011 auction. Nannes bowled a total of four overs for the franchise and took two wickets while giving away 31 runs.
Talking about his international career, the 45-year old gathered a reputation of bowling fiery spells in the Australian domestic setup before he played for Australia in the 2010 T20 World Cup. The left-arm bowler has played 17 T20I matches in which he has scalped a total of 28 wickets at an average of 16.39.
