Some erstwhile stars have been secluded from the glitz and glamour of the IPL

#3 James Faulkner

Faulkner is running short on form and has been dropped from the Australian national team

Aussie all-rounder James Faulkner has been a part of many IPL franchises like Pune Warriors, Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals over the years. Last year, he played for the Gujarat Lions, a franchise which has now been dissolved.

Also known as Jimmy, Faulkner came close to being the Purple cap holder in 2013 when he had 28 scalps to his name.

Currently, Faulkner is running short on form and has been dropped from the Australian national team. His bowling pace has gone down and his hitting abilities have also deteriorated considerably. In the most recent season as well, Faulkner played 8 matches for the Gujarat Lions, in which he could only manage 54 runs and 6 wickets.
