For years, Ross Taylor has been considered a destructive batsman. Hence, it was only expected for him to continue the same level of dominance in the IPL. Well, that’s not exactly what happened.

Ross Taylor started his IPL career as a part of the Royal Challengers dugout. His season wasn’t very memorable, to say the least. He hammered just one fifty and scored only 149 runs.

The most notable point in his IPL career came in 2009 when he smashed 81 runs against KKR. This knock is what resonates with the fans till this very day.

The next couple of years were quiet for the former New Zealand skipper. He didn’t score his next fifty until 2012 when he played for Delhi Capitals. So far, he has accumulated 1017 runs in 55 matches with three half-centuries. Given his potential to dominate bowlers, it feels like his performances didn’t live up to fans’ expectations.
