IPL history: Kochi Tuskers Kerala squad - Where are they now?

#12 Raiphi Gomez

Raiphi Gomez played 11 matches for Kochi Tuskers Kerala

Raiphi Gomez made it to the Indian Premier League first in the year 2009 when the defending champions, Rajasthan Royals picked him up in the auction, making him only the second Kerala-born to join an IPL. However, the franchise released him next year. In 2010, Gomez found no buyers but the new franchise Kochi Tuskers Kerala signed him ahead of the 2011 season.

Born in Trivandrum of Kerala he was one of the few local players who played for Kochi Tuskers Kerala. He represented Kochi Tuskers in 11 matches where the all-rounder hit 46 runs with the bat along with scalping 5 wickets with his medium pace.

He next played for Pune Warriors India in the 2013 season before his poor performances led to franchises showing no interest in him. The 33-year-old Gomez recently joined Pondicherry for the 2018-19 domestic season.
