#2 Jacob Oram
Most of the cricket fans won't even remember Jacob Oram as a part of the IPL. The all-rounder was the perfect T20 cricketer in the format's early years. He was an aggressive batsmen and was also a handy seamer.
Oram started his Indian Premier League with CSK in 2008. He had a stellar performance after transferring to Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 2011 IPL auction.
In the 2013 auction, he was picked up by Mumbai Indians for $55,000. The all-rounder played only one match for MI in 2013 in which he bowled four overs and scored only 3 runs. Oram lifted the trophy with the franchise in that season of the Indian Premier League. But since then, his IPL career never really touched the elevation that many had envisaged.
