#7 Irfan Pathan

The Man of the Match in the final of inaugural World T20 in 2007, Irfan Pathan's career has been on a downfall since then. Once considered as India's answer to Kapil Dev, Pathan last played more than five IPL matches in a season way back in 2014.
After being bought by Kings XI Punjab in the inaugural IPL auction, the all-rounder moved to Delhi Daredevils in 2011 before moving to Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2014, Chennai Super Kings in 2015, Rising Pune Supergiant in 2016, Gujarat Lions in 2017 and went unsold in the 2018 IPL auction.
In spite of playing for six franchises in ten years, Pathan never managed to play in the IPL. In fact, he didn't even know how playing in an IPL final feels.
