#6 Manish Pandey

Manish Pandey made his IPL debut for the Mumbai Indians in 2008 but managed to get just three matches to prove himself. He failed to make a mark with his limited opportunities and was axed the following year.
This turned out to be a big mistake for Mumbai Indians as Manish Pandey went on to score a blistering century for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2009. He played with RCB for a few more years before being released from his contract. He went on to play for a few more franchises like Pune Warriors India, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Pandey has always been the underrated middle order batsman that teams relied on during the backend of the innings. He is often proved himself to be dependable when his team needs him the most. He is one of those rare breeds of cricketers who possesses the ability to rotate the strike and score aggressively based on the situation.
