5 players who couldn't make big even after successful IPL campaigns 

Manoj Tiwary

#2 Manoj Tiwary

Manoj Tiwary is yet another middle-order batsman who couldn't reach his great heights, even though he possessed immense potential. The West Bengal player started his domestic career in 2004 and received huge attention for his attacking style of play.

He made his international debut in 2007 against Australia, but couldn't continue for long in the national colors. In 2008, he was roped in by the Delhi Capitals in the IPL. From 2010, Tiwary was a regular fixture in the Kolkata Knight Riders' batting lineup for 3 years and eventually won the cup with them in 2012.

Returning to the Capitals, Tiwary represented the team in 13 games in the 2014 and 2015 season respectively. He was then picked up by Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017, where he played a key role and scored 324 runs from 15 matches at a strike rate of 137. The next season, he played for Kings XI Punjab.

Having played for 4 different IPL teams, the 33-year old has some invaluable experience in the shorter formats of the game. His league stats account to 98 matches from which he has scored 1695 runs at a decent average of over 28.

His contributions show us how valuable he was for his teams. However, Tiwary couldn't make a huge impact on the Indian jersey. During his 12 ODI appearances, he only scored 287 runs. The 3 T20Is were also not enough to showcase his ability. Tiwary last played for India in 2015, against Zimbabwe.
