The Indian Premier League has always been a great platform to showcase the talent to the cricketing world for the youngsters. A lot of youngsters have been benefitted from the IPL and went on to make remarkable numbers for the Indian National Cricket Team. On the other side of the coin, there are few cricketers, who showed their impeccable brilliance in one season and never repeated the show. Meanwhile, we figured out five such players.
Here are they:
5. Swapnil Asnodkar:
Right in the first edition of Indian Premier League, we got to see the talent of Swapnil Asnodkar. In a great journey of Rajasthan Royals in the first edition of the grand tournament, Swapnil Asnodkar was one of the few players, who helped his side to seal the victory.
Batting at the top-order, he used to take care of the powerplay overs and scored runs on a consistent basis for the team. He always got the backing from the Australian legend Shane Warne for his brilliance with the bat.
He went on to score 311 runs in nine matches and it was with the help of outstanding domestic talents like Asnodkar that Rajasthan Royals went on to win the 2008 IPL.
However, it was the only season, which saw him performing. Then he faded away and couldn’t able to make a name of himself in any other edition. However, he has been brilliant in the domestic circuit.
