IPL 2021: One season wonder of IPL, someone wreaks havoc with the ball, someone makes a splash with batting and then gets lost in the darkness of oblivion

There is a line written in Sanskrit on the IPL trophy – Yatra Pratibha Avasa Pranoti. It means where talent gets an opportunity. The IPL has managed to bring out many talents in its journey so far. Jaspreet Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya are great examples of this. But there are also many names who have twinkled on the IPL platform but were soon lost. Today, the talk of such stars which shone a lot but then got lost in oblivion.

Yo Mahesh (Delhi Daredevils) – In the first season of IPL, Delhi gave a chance to talented fast bowler Yo Mahesh. Mahesh has the ability to swing the ball on both sides. He took 16 wickets in the first season in the IPL. At that time, he was ranked eighth among the bowlers who took the most wickets. But in the next two seasons, he could play only two matches. In such a situation, Delhi released this bowler of Tamil Nadu. Then Chennai Super Kings took this player and gave him a chance in five matches. But Yo Mahesh could not show the same game as before.

Kamran Khan (Rajasthan Royals) – Before the start of IPL 2009, Rajasthan captain Shane Warne had discovered this player. He called this player the star of the future. Left-arm fast bowler Kamran Khan hails from Uttar Pradesh. Warne was impressed by his fast bowling. Due to this, he was given a chance. But due to fitness, Kamran did not live up to this belief. He played nine matches in three seasons. After this, he withdrew from the IPL.

Manvinder Bisla scored 89 runs in the final against Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2012 and helped the team get the first innings title. Due to this innings, Bisla got to play the entire season in IPL 2013. Then in 2015, KKR released him. Then Royal Challengers Bangalore bought them. But Bisla got to play only a few matches.

The Himachal Pradesh right-hander scored 463 runs in IPL 2011 at an average of 35.61. During this, he also played a century of 120 runs against Chennai Super Kings. But never before Paul Valthaty could show such a game. As a result, in 2012, he got only six matches to play. Played only one match in 2013. Apart from Punjab, he also played for Rajasthan Royals in IPL but his bat remained silent.
