5 international stars who failed in IPL

Mashrafe Mortaza

Mortaza has a frail body, but a very strong mind. The limited overs skipper for Bangladesh was perhaps the first ever superstar to emerge from his country. He even impressed great Andy Roberts, and was picked up by the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2009 auctions for $600,000.

However, Mortaza never got a long run and in the only match he played against the now defunct Deccan Chargers, he was at the receiving end of a rampaging Rohit Sharma who smashed him for 21 runs in the final over and KKR lost the match. He was never given another go, and his IPL career lasted for only a solitary match.

In the 4 overs he bowled, Mortaza was looted for 58 runs and did not pick up any wickets. A nightmare indeed.
