IPL: 4 overseas players who got a chance in international cricket because of the IPL

#2 Shaun Marsh

Shaun Marsh is the only overseas player to play all 10 seasons for the same franchise.

The Western Australian batsman was the winner of the Orange Cap in the 2008 edition of the IPL amassing 616 runs in the season. That season helped him gain a place in the Australian team on their tour to the West Indies later that year.

Shaun Marsh is the only foreign player to play for the same franchise in all 10 editions of the IPL (Kings XI Punjab). He has been the backbone of the Kings XI Punjab batting line-up during his stint with them. In 71 matches for the Kings XI, he has scored 2477 runs at an average of 40 and a strike rate of 133.

It was the Indian Premier league that paved the way for Shaun Marsh into international cricket. His long association with the Kings XI Punjab ended in 2018 after the franchise did not retain him and let him go unsold at the auction.
