#1 Damien Martyn

Cricket - Australia v Local XI
Damien Martyn came in as a replacement for Graeme Smith

Perhaps one of the most stylish right-hander in world cricket and best known for beautiful cover drives, Damien Martyn had a scratchy end to his IPL career.

The former test star was picked up by Rajasthan Royals in the third season of IPL. He was recruited by Shane Warne, who was the captain of the Royals as a replacement for Graeme Smith.

It was a Royals clash at Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru. Put into bat first, Rajasthan Royals were 27/1 when Martyn walked out to the crease.

He had a slow start to his innings and couldn’t accelerate with wickets going down at the other end. Martyn was dismissed in the 17th over of the bowling of Praveen Kumar for 19 runs of 24 balls.

Rajasthan Royals were dismissed for a poultry total of 92. In reply, Royal Challengers Bangalore chased the target without losing a wicket in 11 overs.

Martyn had a disappointing end to his IPL career and flew back home after this game.
