IPL: 5 unsold Indian bowlers who may never find a franchise again
Playing in IPL is considered as a dream for many and it needs immense hard-work and dedication to achieve that feat. Even though most of them have been able to fulfill it but they have failed to keep the momentum going.
It has become a new trend that any uncapped player who performs well in the IPL is given a chance to showcase his skills for the national team. There have been a lot of bowlers than batsmen in this criterion.
Here we will look at the bowlers who were selected due to impressive performances in the IPL but lost their place due to lack of form and might never get to play the cash-rich IPL again.
#5 Sudeep Tyagi
The tall and lanky seamer came into the limelight when he took match figures of 10/92 in his debut Ranji Trophy match. He was considered to be the next prodigy for India in the bowling department.
He finished the Ranji season as the highest wicket-taker and was selected in the Indian team against Australia in 2009.
But, he made his debut when India played Sri Lanka. He also got to play a total of 5 matches for the national setup which included 4 ODI's and a solitary T20 match. He failed to replicate his form with the national team and was dropped from the team.
He was bought by the Deccan Chargers for the 3rd edition of the IPL but it was by far his worst performance ever. His career was cut short due to regular injuries. He could regularly bowl above 140kph, which was a rarity for an Indian bowler at the time.
Out of the 6 matches he played, he took a single wicket with a very high economy of 10.04. He was with the Sunrisers Hyderabad until 2013 but never got a game. Since then, he has not been able to feature in the IPL.
