#3 Jacob Oram

Jacob Oram represented the Blackcaps for a decade, during which he played 33 Tests, 16 ODIs and 36 T20Is. The former Kiwi all-rounder began his IPL career with Chennai Super Kings in 2008, where he played for two seasons.

In 2011, he was signed by Rajasthan Royals as a replacement for the injured Paul Collingwood for $250,000. However, he had an appalling season for the team, managing only 2 appearances. He only bowled 12 balls that season, managing 1 wicket in the process.

In 2013 auctions, Oram was bought by Mumbai Indians for $50,000, where he won the IPL title.

"Sport has the power to change the world…it has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than government in breaking down racial barriers."
