While some of the players on this list were once IPL superstars, the others couldn’t make it big in the tournament but have shone outside of it. Four cricketers from New Zealand make the list, along with two Indians, an Australian and an English player.

One of the very few India stars to miss out on an opportunity to feature in the 2020 IPL, Tiwary has had two spells with Delhi Daredevils, along with stints with Kolkata Knight Riders, where he won an IPL title, Rising Pune Super Giants and Kings XI Punjab.

He played an important part in RPS’s run to the 2017 IPL final, scoring 324 runs in 15 matches. The following season, with KXIP, wasn’t fruitful and he went unsold in two consecutive auctions in 2019 and 2020.

The England quick has so far featured in only one IPL match, for Chennai Super Kings in the 2018 season, when they went on to win the title upon their return from a two-year hiatus. He was released by the franchise ahead of the 2019 season and went unsold in the two auctions that have followed since.

He has taken at least one wicket in all of his 11 appearances for England in the T20Is and could have been an interesting addition for any of the IPL sides considering the English players will be available to play all of their franchise’s matches.
