IPL: 3 international wicket-keepers who couldn’t make it big 

#2 Luke Ronchi

New Zealand born Luke Ronchi is the only cricketer to represent 2 full-time ICC teams after Kepler Wessels. He holds the record for being the only player to play for both Australia and New Zealand. The aggressive right-handed batsman has represented over 10 domestic teams across the world over a decade. His attacking stroke-play and agile wicket-keeping fetched him an IPL contract in the Inaugural edition of Indian Premier League.

He was picked up by Mumbai Indians for his hard-hitting reputation. However, the right-handed batsman couldn’t make justice for his selection. He played only 4 games in the entire season scoring only 34 runs with a poor average of 8.50 and with the highest score of 13 runs. He didn’t play the rest of the season and warmed the bench.

He was again retained by Mumbai Indians for the second season that was played in South Africa. He played only 1 solitary game against Delhi Daredevils and got for a duck on the second ball he faced. In total, he played 5 games in 2 seasons of IPL and could muster only 34 runs with an average of 6.80.

Luke Ronchi went unsold in all the following seasons. However, he has hit a purple patch recently, as he scored the second fastest 50 in Pakistan Super League and played a crucial role for Islamabad United who was the winners of the 3rd season of PSL.
