Dan Christian – Deccan Chargers, 2011-12
Australian all–rounder Dan Christian reaped huge rewards in the IPL 2011-12 for his excellent showing in the inaugural Big Bash League season. Although unknown in India, the Deccan Chargers paid USD 900,000 (Rs. 5.6 approx). He played with the franchise for two seasons but failed to replicate the sort of performances which convinced the team owners to bid such a high price for him. In 21 games that he played, Dan was able to muster only 335 runs and took 19 wickets.
