IPL History: 5 famous cricketers who we may not know once played in the IPL

#1 Andrew Flintoff (England)

Andrew Flintoff

Andrew Flintoff is perhaps one of the most successful all-rounders in the World Cricket. Nicknamed Freddie, Flintoff was equally talented with both the bat and ball. The English all-rounder played 141 ODIs and 79 tests for England. He belongs to one of the rare species of cricketers who can stage aggressive batting and bowl more-than-useful medium pace. Although Flintoff was one of the successful cricketers in the International format, he didn't had a good outing in the Indian Premier League.

Owing to his status of being an all-rounder, Flintoff was picked by the Chennai Super Kings for the second edition of the IPL. The franchise had huge expectations on the English cricketer, but sadly, Flintoff became a futile all-rounder for Chennai. Out of his 3 matches, Flintoff scored just 62 runs. He was also an expensive contender with the ball and conceded almost 9 runs in an over. This was the only season Flintoff played in the IPL and never made a comeback to the tournament.
