Manvinder Singh Bisla

One of the wicketkeeper-batters from Punjab without enormous talent played multiple match-winning knocks and became a forgotten one in Indian cricket. His 89 off 48 balls in the IPL 2012 final for the Kolkata Knight Riders is something like that happened only a few days ago. 

Paul Valthaty

Once considered one of the most talented cricketers, he vanished all of a sudden. His unbeaten 120* for Kings XI Punjab (now known as Punjab Kings) in 2011 was a heyday for the Indian Premier League. 

Swapnil Asnodkar

The former Rajasthan Royals batter and wicketkeeper made his name as 'pocket rocket' for his hitting ability. He made 311 runs in IPL 2008 for RR. But after that season, he was never seen competing in the IPL. 

Saurabh Tiwari

The aggressive batter with hard-hitting abilities and shoulder-length hair is from Jharkhand as well. Mumbai Indians management landed Tiwari in 2008. The batter was a part of MI for multiple seasons and got the opportunity to play for India on October 20, 2010, vs. Australia. But failing to justify his talent, he faded away from the cricket pitch. 

Shadab Jakati 

Jakati made his name as a Chennai Super Kings cricketer, who claimed 13 wickets for CSK in 2009. Back in those days, he was a dependable spinner for the team. Also, his ability with the bat was crucial for the team on numerous occasions.

Manpreet Gony

Another CSK prospect played for Team India as well but could not sustain his moment. He was the leading wicket-taker with 17 scalps in 2008 for Chennai Super Kings. Gony also showcased his six hitting ability on numerous occasions by scoring quick-fire runs lower down the order. 

Tirumalasetti Laxminarayana Suman

Deccan Chargers had some tremendous talents in their squad, like Suman, known as T Suman, whose best IPL performance was for DC in the 2009-10 season with 307 runs in 14 games. He was a dependable batter who showcased exceptional skill batting both against spin and pace. 

Rahul Sharma

A tall spinner with the ability to produce extra bounce with his spin, for a short period he was even compared with Indian cricket legend Anil Kumble, but he failed to justify his talent after the 2011 IPL season for the Pune Warriors by taking 16 scalps. 

Harmeet Singh 

The medium pacer was proved to be a worthy part for the Deccan Chargers, especially in the big games. He took the wickets of Mark Boucher and Rahul Dravid in the IPL 2009 final. 

Kamran Khan

Rajasthan Royals scouted left-handed medium pacer, amazed cricket fans with his pace and tight bowling, was supposed to be an up-and-coming star, gifted his team a super over win, and faded away very soon.
