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

#1 Glenn Maxwell

Maxwell set the IPL-7 on fire after some blistering knocks.

The 'Big Show' was the find of IPL 7. We all remember Maxwell for smashing every opposition during the UAE leg of that particular edition of the IPL.

However, his IPL debut came for the Delhi Daredevils in 2012. Maxwell earned a maiden national call-up in August 2012 after playing one season in the IPL. In the following edition, he was picked up by the Mumbai Indians for a whopping $1 million but warmed the benches for most parts.

His first break in the IPL came for the Kings XI in 2014 which helped him to cement his place in the Australian side. It is fair to say that IPL proved to be a huge platform for Maxwell in his making as an international cricketer.
