10 players who performed well in IPL after retiring from international cricket

Matthew Hayden

Hayden was the Orange Cap holder in the 2009 season

The burly left-hander, who was a late blossomer in his international career, made amends for the late start by scoring runs in abundance when his chance finally came. Part of two successful World Cup campaigns, he scored over 1600 T20 runs in 50 matches.

Starring in the Chennai Superkings franchise for four years, he made a quiet start in 2010, before cutting loose against the Delhi Daredevils. Sporting a mongoose bat which he was endorsing, he smote his way to a 43 ball 93 against the Delhi Daredevils in IPL 2010, which was also his highest score in the IPL.In the preceding season, due to his consistent exploits at the top, he was the Orange Cap holder with 572 runs in 12 matches.

In all matches for the now defunct franchise, he scored 1117 runs at an average of 35 and a strike rate of 135.55, with 8 fifties.
