T20 leagues have always made cricket more interesting. It acts as a catalyst to entertainment. Fans across the globe wait for their favorite T20 leagues to commence every year.

Among all the T20 leagues which exist, the Indian Premier League (<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a>) is unarguably the best. Cricketers have always prioritized the IPL over other T20 leagues. However, this doesn&#8217;t stop them from playing the other leagues which exist.

However, performing well in the IPL is relatively tougher as compared to performing in the Big Bash League (BBL), Pakistan Super League (PSL), Caribbean Premier League (CPL), or any other T20 league. Thus, there are several players who are successful in other T20 leagues but unfortunately couldn&#8217;t or haven&#8217;t been able to replicate that success in the IPL. Today we shall be taking a look at-

10 famous T20 cricketers who were a flop in IPL

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-386502" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/DArcy-Short.jpg" alt="D'Arcy Short" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-386502" class="wp-caption-text">D&#8217;Arcy Short.

D&#8217;Arcy Short was considered as one of the next big things of T20 cricket. Many cricket pundits from Australia felt that he could be the next David Warner. It is unfortunate that he couldn&#8217;t live up to the hype.

He was scoring runs for fun in the seventh edition of the BBL. Short scored a total of 572 runs in 11 innings. He has scored a total of 2019 runs at an average and strike rate of 40.55 and 138.93 in his BBL career. Despite being one of the greatest players in the history of the Australian T20 league, he was never able to replicate that success in the Indian T20 league.

He was purchased by the Rajasthan Royals (RR) for a whopping 4 crore rupees in the IPL 2018 auctions. However, he was only able to score 44 runs in 7 IPL games that season. Thus, he never played an IPL game after that.

Colin Ingram has made a name for himself in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/hong-kong-all-star-t20-2021-match-4-kol-vs-hki-dream11-prediction-fantasy-cricket-tips-playing-11-pitch-report-and-injury-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">T20 </a>leagues across the globe. His reputation as a T20 player is really high. Unfortunately, he hasn&#8217;t had a successful IPL career.

The South African batsman has been a hit in various T20 leagues such as the PSL and BBL. He was successful in the English domestic circuit as well. This resulted in him getting an IPL contract as he went on to represent the Delhi-based franchise.

However, he always struggled in the IPL and hasn&#8217;t even scored an IPL fifty. In the 15 games he has played, he has only scored 205 runs at an average and strike rate of 17.08 and 113.89 respectively. Thus, it is safe to say that Ingram is a perfect example of a cricketer who was a major hit in other T20 leagues but turned out to be a flop in the IPL.

(Photo by Morgan Hancock/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Ben Laughlin is one of those bowlers who couldn&#8217;t succeed in the IPL despite getting all the hype. The Victorian seamer is the most successful BBL bowler of all time. He has taken the most number of wickets in BBL history.

The Aussie has taken 111 wickets in the 96 BBL matches he has played. His bowling average and strike rate in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/we-are-all-100-behind-justin-langer-tim-paine-defends-australian-head-coach-amid-criticism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australian</a> T20 league are 24.26 and 18.0 respectively. However, he wasn&#8217;t able to replicate his BBL performances in the IPL.

Laughlin has represented the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), and Rajasthan Royals (RR). In the 9 IPL games he has played, he has only been able to pick up 10 wickets. His economy is on the higher side too as he has an economy rate of 10.13.

Rilee Rossouw is one of the most successful players in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/psl-pakistan-super-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PSL </a>history. He has made a name for himself over there and has been a trump card for Quetta Gladiators and Multan Sultans. He is also one of the leading run-scorers in Pakistan&#8217;s T20 league.

He came into the limelight as a T20 player during the now-defunct Championship League T20 (CLT20) when he scored a 19- ball 44. The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) then signed him up in 2012. However, he didn&#8217;t get a game.

He again played for RCB in 2014. In the 5 IPL games he played, he was only able to score 53 runs at an average of 10. It is sad that someone with so much potential couldn&#8217;t succeed in the biggest T20 league in the world.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-527016" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Usman-Khawaja-of-Islamabad-United.jpg" alt="Usman Khawaja of Islamabad United.

(Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Usman Khawaja is one of the best Aussie batsmen currently. He is famous for his swashbuckling shots. However, despite all his talent, he still couldn&#8217;t succeed in the toughest T20 league.

Khawaja is however one of the most successful players in BBL history. He has scored 1789 runs at an average and strike rate of 33.68 and 128.97. His performance in the fifth edition of the BBL resulted in him getting an IPL contract.

He replaced the injured Kevin Pietersen in the now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) squad back in IPL 2016. However, he failed to make a mark in the<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/wtc-final-indians-steamroll-a-harsh-sri-lankan-fan-for-his-tweet-on-cheteshwar-pujara/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Indian </a>T20 league. He was only able to score 127 runs in 6 games at an average and strike rate of 21.17 and 127.0 respectively.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-403601" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Darren-Sammy.jpg" alt="Darren Sammy" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-403601" class="wp-caption-text">Darren Sammy. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Darren Sammy is not only one of the most enigmatic <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/top-indian-cricketers-and-the-mobile-phones-they-use/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cricketers</a> of all time but is also one of the most successful T20 captains ever. He has won a lot of trophies in the shortest format of the game. However, the one regret he would have is the fact that he never succeeded in the toughest T20 league in the world.

Sammy has been synonymous with the Peshawar Zalmi (PZ) in the PSL. Under his leadership, the team has made three final appearances, winning one of them. He has a decent record in the CPL as well.

However, even after playing 3 IPL seasons, he couldn&#8217;t do much. He has played 22 IPL games and has a batting average and strike rate of 19.67 and 122.41 respectively. His IPL bowling average and strike are 31.82 and 21.45 respectively.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-508430" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Eoin-Morgan.jpg" alt="Eoin Morgan" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-508430" class="wp-caption-text">Eoin Morgan. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Now seeing someone like Eoin Morgan on this list might be shocking. You must be wondering how on earth is one of the best limited-overs batsmen of this era is featuring on this list? However, the truth is that despite having all the hitting ability in the world, Morgan hasn&#8217;t been a successful IPL player.

Morgan has been really good for Middlesex in the Vitality Blast. He was also decent in the BBL and hit a last-ball six against Melbourne Stars in the sixth edition of the league. However, he has played IPL way more than any other T20 league and unfortunately, still couldn&#8217;t make a mark in the biggest T20 league in the world.

The English ODI and T20I skipper has played 66 IPL games and has scored 1364 runs. He has a batting average and strike rate of 24.36 and 125.25 respectively. Another important point to add is that Morgan has even lead the<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/kkr-kolkata-knight-riders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Kolkata Knight Riders </a>(KKR) and returned with modest results.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-382847" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Colin-Munro.jpg" alt="Colin Munro" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-382847" class="wp-caption-text">Colin Munro. (Photo by Kai Schwoerer/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Colin Munro would certainly consider himself unlikely for not succeeding in the IPL. The Kiwi opener has been a huge hit in almost every T20 league barring the IPL. A lot of T20 franchises around the world would even tell you that he is one of the greatest T20 players of all time.

He was successful for the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) in the CPL. Munro has been one of the most explosive players in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitter-reactions-islamabad-united-end-multan-sultans-unbeaten-streak-in-psl-2021-second-leg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PSL</a> as well. He has scored 584 runs in Pakistan&#8217;s T20 league at an average and strike rate of 32.44 and 152.48 respectively. He has been fairly successful in the BBL as well.

It is only the IPL where he couldn&#8217;t make a mark. He has played 12 IPL games and has scored 177 runs. He has an average and strike rate of 14.75 and 125.53 respectively.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-369717" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Ravi-Bopara.jpg" alt="Ravi Bopara" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-369717" class="wp-caption-text">Ravi Bopara. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Ravi Bopara has been an impactful all-rounder in the shortest format of the game, to say the least. Despite not being a big name, he has always contributed no matter what. However, one couldn&#8217;t say the same for his performances in the IPL.

Bopara has been one of the best players in PSL history. He has scored 775 runs in 39 PSL games. He has an average and strike rate of 28.70 and 117.78. He has also picked 15 wickets in 19 innings with the ball.

However, he was consistently inconsistent in the IPL. Although he was good in patches, he was never really impactful for either <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/punjab-kings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Punjab Kings </a>(Then Kings XI Punjab) or Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Thus, Bopara was a flop in the IPL.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-452506" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Aaron-Finch-1.jpg" alt="Aaron Finch IPL" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-452506" class="wp-caption-text">Aaron Finch. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

Finch is arguably one of the best T20 players of all time. His hitting ability has managed to attract a lot of franchises. However, despite playing for 8 IPL teams, Finch still couldn&#8217;t establish himself in the biggest T20 league in the world.

Finch has been one of the most successful players in the BBL. He even led the Melbourne Renegades (MLR) to their maiden title in 2019. Despite this, he has always struggled in the IPL.

The Aussie <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/england-name-16-man-squad-for-the-odi-series-against-sri-lanka/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ODI</a> and T20I skipper had played as many as 87 IPL games but has managed to score only 2005 runs. He has an average and strike rate of 25.38 and 127.71 respectively. Thus, it is safe to say that Finch has been one of the biggest disappointments in IPL history.

T20 leagues have always made cricket more interesting. It acts as a catalyst to entertainment. Fans across the globe wait for their favorite T20 leagues to commence every year.

Colin Munro would certainly consider himself unlikely for not succeeding in the IPL. The Kiwi opener has been a huge hit in almost every T20 league barring the IPL. A lot of T20 franchises around the world would even tell you that he is one of the greatest T20 players of all time.
He was successful for the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) in the CPL. Munro has been one of the most explosive players in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitter-reactions-islamabad-united-end-multan-sultans-unbeaten-streak-in-psl-2021-second-leg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PSL</a> as well. He has scored 584 runs in Pakistan’s T20 league at an average and strike rate of 32.44 and 152.48 respectively. He has been fairly successful in the BBL as well.
It is only the IPL where he couldn’t make a mark. He has played 12 IPL games and has scored 177 runs. He has an average and strike rate of 14.75 and 125.53 respectively.

<h3>9) Ravi Bopara</h3>
<figure id="attachment_369717" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-369717" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img class="size-full wp-image-369717" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Ravi-Bopara.jpg" alt="Ravi Bopara" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img><figcaption id="caption-attachment-369717" class="wp-caption-text">Ravi Bopara. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>
Ravi Bopara has been an impactful all-rounder in the shortest format of the game, to say the least. Despite not being a big name, he has always contributed no matter what. However, one couldn’t say the same for his performances in the IPL.
Bopara has been one of the best players in PSL history. He has scored 775 runs in 39 PSL games. He has an average and strike rate of 28.70 and 117.78. He has also picked 15 wickets in 19 innings with the ball.
However, he was consistently inconsistent in the IPL. Although he was good in patches, he was never really impactful for either <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/punjab-kings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Punjab Kings </a>(Then Kings XI Punjab) or Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Thus, Bopara was a flop in the IPL.

<h3>10) Aaron Finch</h3>
<figure id="attachment_452506" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-452506" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img class="size-full wp-image-452506" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Aaron-Finch-1.jpg" alt="Aaron Finch IPL" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img><figcaption id="caption-attachment-452506" class="wp-caption-text">Aaron Finch. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption></figure>
Finch is arguably one of the best T20 players of all time. His hitting ability has managed to attract a lot of franchises. However, despite playing for 8 IPL teams, Finch still couldn’t establish himself in the biggest T20 league in the world.
Finch has been one of the most successful players in the BBL. He even led the Melbourne Renegades (MLR) to their maiden title in 2019. Despite this, he has always struggled in the IPL.
The Aussie <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/england-name-16-man-squad-for-the-odi-series-against-sri-lanka/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ODI</a> and T20I skipper had played as many as 87 IPL games but has managed to score only 2005 runs. He has an average and strike rate of 25.38 and 127.71 respectively. Thus, it is safe to say that Finch has been one of the biggest disappointments in IPL history.

T20 leagues have always made cricket more interesting. It acts as a catalyst to entertainment. Fans across the globe wait for their favorite T20 leagues to commence every year.
Among all the T20 leagues which exist, the Indian Premier League (<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a>) is unarguably the best. Cricketers have always prioritized the IPL over other T20 leagues. However, this doesn&#8217;t stop them from playing the other leagues which exist.
However, performing well in the IPL is relatively tougher as compared to performing in the Big Bash League (BBL), Pakistan Super League (PSL), Caribbean Premier League (CPL), or any other T20 league. Thus, there are several players who are successful in other T20 leagues but unfortunately couldn&#8217;t or haven&#8217;t been able to replicate that success in the IPL. Today we shall be taking a look at-
<h2>10 famous T20 cricketers who were a flop in IPL</h2>
<h3>1) D&#8217;arcy Short</h3>
<figure id="attachment_386502" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-386502" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-386502" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/DArcy-Short.jpg" alt="D'Arcy Short" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-386502" class="wp-caption-text">D&#8217;Arcy Short. (Photo by James Worsfold/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
D&#8217;Arcy Short was considered as one of the next big things of T20 cricket. Many cricket pundits from Australia felt that he could be the next David Warner. It is unfortunate that he couldn&#8217;t live up to the hype.
He was scoring runs for fun in the seventh edition of the BBL. Short scored a total of 572 runs in 11 innings. He has scored a total of 2019 runs at an average and strike rate of 40.55 and 138.93 in his BBL career. Despite being one of the greatest players in the history of the Australian T20 league, he was never able to replicate that success in the Indian T20 league.
He was purchased by the Rajasthan Royals (RR) for a whopping 4 crore rupees in the IPL 2018 auctions. However, he was only able to score 44 runs in 7 IPL games that season. Thus, he never played an IPL game after that.

<h3>2) Colin Ingram</h3>
<figure id="attachment_352103" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-352103" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-352103" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/CT_359504.jpg" alt width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-352103" class="wp-caption-text">CHELMSFORD, ENGLAND &#8211; MAY 30: Colin Ingram of Glamorgan. (Photo by James Chance/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
Colin Ingram has made a name for himself in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/hong-kong-all-star-t20-2021-match-4-kol-vs-hki-dream11-prediction-fantasy-cricket-tips-playing-11-pitch-report-and-injury-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">T20 </a>leagues across the globe. His reputation as a T20 player is really high. Unfortunately, he hasn&#8217;t had a successful IPL career.
The South African batsman has been a hit in various T20 leagues such as the PSL and BBL. He was successful in the English domestic circuit as well. This resulted in him getting an IPL contract as he went on to represent the Delhi-based franchise.
However, he always struggled in the IPL and hasn&#8217;t even scored an IPL fifty. In the 15 games he has played, he has only scored 205 runs at an average and strike rate of 17.08 and 113.89 respectively. Thus, it is safe to say that Ingram is a perfect example of a cricketer who was a major hit in other T20 leagues but turned out to be a flop in the IPL.

<h3>3) Ben Laughlin</h3>
<figure id="attachment_393770" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-393770" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-393770" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Ben-Laughlin.jpg" alt="Ben Laughlin" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-393770" class="wp-caption-text">Ben Laughlin. (Photo by Morgan Hancock/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
Ben Laughlin is one of those bowlers who couldn&#8217;t succeed in the IPL despite getting all the hype. The Victorian seamer is the most successful BBL bowler of all time. He has taken the most number of wickets in BBL history.
The Aussie has taken 111 wickets in the 96 BBL matches he has played. His bowling average and strike rate in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/we-are-all-100-behind-justin-langer-tim-paine-defends-australian-head-coach-amid-criticism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australian</a> T20 league are 24.26 and 18.0 respectively. However, he wasn&#8217;t able to replicate his BBL performances in the IPL.
Laughlin has represented the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), and Rajasthan Royals (RR). In the 9 IPL games he has played, he has only been able to pick up 10 wickets. His economy is on the higher side too as he has an economy rate of 10.13.

<h3>4) Rilee Rossouw</h3>
<figure id="attachment_402978" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-402978" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-402978" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Rilee-Rossouw.jpg" alt="Rilee Rossouw" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-402978" class="wp-caption-text">Rilee Rossouw (Photo by ARIF ALI/AFP via Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
Rilee Rossouw is one of the most successful players in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/psl-pakistan-super-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PSL </a>history. He has made a name for himself over there and has been a trump card for Quetta Gladiators and Multan Sultans. He is also one of the leading run-scorers in Pakistan&#8217;s T20 league.
He came into the limelight as a T20 player during the now-defunct Championship League T20 (CLT20) when he scored a 19- ball 44. The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) then signed him up in 2012. However, he didn&#8217;t get a game.
He again played for RCB in 2014. In the 5 IPL games he played, he was only able to score 53 runs at an average of 10. It is sad that someone with so much potential couldn&#8217;t succeed in the biggest T20 league in the world.

<h3>5) Usman Khawaja</h3>
<figure id="attachment_527016" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-527016" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-527016" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Usman-Khawaja-of-Islamabad-United.jpg" alt="Usman Khawaja of Islamabad United.

(Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>
Usman Khawaja is one of the best Aussie batsmen currently. He is famous for his swashbuckling shots. However, despite all his talent, he still couldn&#8217;t succeed in the toughest T20 league.
Khawaja is however one of the most successful players in BBL history. He has scored 1789 runs at an average and strike rate of 33.68 and 128.97. His performance in the fifth edition of the BBL resulted in him getting an IPL contract.
He replaced the injured Kevin Pietersen in the now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) squad back in IPL 2016. However, he failed to make a mark in the<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/wtc-final-indians-steamroll-a-harsh-sri-lankan-fan-for-his-tweet-on-cheteshwar-pujara/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Indian </a>T20 league. He was only able to score 127 runs in 6 games at an average and strike rate of 21.17 and 127.0 respectively.

<h3>6) Darren Sammy</h3>
<figure id="attachment_403601" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-403601" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-403601" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Darren-Sammy.jpg" alt="Darren Sammy" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-403601" class="wp-caption-text">Darren Sammy. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>
Darren Sammy is not only one of the most enigmatic <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/top-indian-cricketers-and-the-mobile-phones-they-use/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cricketers</a> of all time but is also one of the most successful T20 captains ever. He has won a lot of trophies in the shortest format of the game. However, the one regret he would have is the fact that he never succeeded in the toughest T20 league in the world.
Sammy has been synonymous with the Peshawar Zalmi (PZ) in the PSL. Under his leadership, the team has made three final appearances, winning one of them. He has a decent record in the CPL as well.
However, even after playing 3 IPL seasons, he couldn&#8217;t do much. He has played 22 IPL games and has a batting average and strike rate of 19.67 and 122.41 respectively. His IPL bowling average and strike are 31.82 and 21.45 respectively.

<h3>7) Eoin Morgan</h3>
<figure id="attachment_508430" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-508430" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-508430" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Eoin-Morgan.jpg" alt="Eoin Morgan" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-508430" class="wp-caption-text">Eoin Morgan. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>
Now seeing someone like Eoin Morgan on this list might be shocking. You must be wondering how on earth is one of the best limited-overs batsmen of this era is featuring on this list? However, the truth is that despite having all the hitting ability in the world, Morgan hasn&#8217;t been a successful IPL player.
Morgan has been really good for Middlesex in the Vitality Blast. He was also decent in the BBL and hit a last-ball six against Melbourne Stars in the sixth edition of the league. However, he has played IPL way more than any other T20 league and unfortunately, still couldn&#8217;t make a mark in the biggest T20 league in the world.
The English ODI and T20I skipper has played 66 IPL games and has scored 1364 runs. He has a batting average and strike rate of 24.36 and 125.25 respectively. Another important point to add is that Morgan has even lead the<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/kkr-kolkata-knight-riders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Kolkata Knight Riders </a>(KKR) and returned with modest results.

<h3>8) Colin Munro</h3>
<figure id="attachment_382847" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-382847" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-382847" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Colin-Munro.jpg" alt="Colin Munro" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-382847" class="wp-caption-text">Colin Munro.

He has scored 584 runs in Pakistan&#8217;s T20 league at an average and strike rate of 32.44 and 152.48 respectively. He has been fairly successful in the BBL as well.
It is only the IPL where he couldn&#8217;t make a mark. He has played 12 IPL games and has scored 177 runs. He has an average and strike rate of 14.75 and 125.53 respectively.

<h3>9) Ravi Bopara</h3>
<figure id="attachment_369717" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-369717" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-369717" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Ravi-Bopara.jpg" alt="Ravi Bopara" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-369717" class="wp-caption-text">Ravi Bopara.

Ravi Bopara has been an impactful all-rounder in the shortest format of the game, to say the least. Despite not being a big name, he has always contributed no matter what. However, one couldn&#8217;t say the same for his performances in the IPL.
Bopara has been one of the best players in PSL history. He has scored 775 runs in 39 PSL games. He has an average and strike rate of 28.70 and 117.78. He has also picked 15 wickets in 19 innings with the ball.
However, he was consistently inconsistent in the IPL. Although he was good in patches, he was never really impactful for either <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/punjab-kings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Punjab Kings </a>(Then Kings XI Punjab) or Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Thus, Bopara was a flop in the IPL.

<h3>10) Aaron Finch</h3>
<figure id="attachment_452506" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-452506" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-452506" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Aaron-Finch-1.jpg" alt="Aaron Finch IPL" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-452506" class="wp-caption-text">Aaron Finch.

Finch has been one of the most successful players in the BBL. He even led the Melbourne Renegades (MLR) to their maiden title in 2019. Despite this, he has always struggled in the IPL.
The Aussie <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/england-name-16-man-squad-for-the-odi-series-against-sri-lanka/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ODI</a> and T20I skipper had played as many as 87 IPL games but has managed to score only 2005 runs. He has an average and strike rate of 25.38 and 127.71 respectively. Thus, it is safe to say that Finch has been one of the biggest disappointments in IPL history.

Many players haven't been able to replicate their form in the world's toughest T20 league.

10 Cricketers who are hits in other T20 Leagues but flops in IPL

Performing well in the IPL is relatively tougher as compared to performing in the BBL, PSL, and Caribbean Premier League (CPL),
