The Indian Premier League (IPL) opened a new gateway of opportunities to so many youngsters in the country. It gave them a great chance to earn big paychecks, rub shoulders with some of the finest coaches and cricketers in the world and most importantly, they were in the limelight, playing in front of huge crowds.

Not many saw that the tournament could have some other repercussions, like destroying the confidence of players and snatching them a chance of representing even their state teams, whenever they couldn&#8217;t perform in the IPL. The tournament had a huge impact on the confidence levels of youngsters, for the good and bad reasons.

Here are five cricketers who played IPL in the 2008 season and a few editions after that, but could never make it big in the industry:

Karnataka&#8217;s Bharat Chipli played for the state side during their golden run in the domestic circuit under Vinay Kumar&#8217;s captaincy between 2013 and 2015, where they won the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/drs-in-ranji-trophy-matches-doing-away-with-toss-discussed-at-bcci-s-captains-coaches-conclave/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Ranji Trophy</strong></a> twice in a row. He wasn&#8217;t a regular feature in the team, but showed a lot of promise and managed to earn a decent IPL contract on more than one occasion.

In the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League, he was a part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore and got to play three matches. The Royal Challengers ended up 7th on the table that edition, but came back strongly next time to finish runners up. After the first season, he didn&#8217;t appear for the Bangalore side in the next two seasons.

He then played all 14 games in 2011 for Deccan Chargers played five games in the 2012 edition. After the Ranji trophy success with Karnataka, he lost his position in the team.

Born in Tamil Nadu, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ms-dhoni-can-bring-the-best-out-of-players-arun-karthik/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Arun Karthik</strong></a> represented the Royal Challengers Bangalore for a lot of time in the IPL. He is famously remembered for hitting a six off the final ball in a must-win game against South Australian Redbacks in the Champions League T20. He was in the Chennai Super Kings side for the first season.

Karthik has been a regular part of Tamil Nadu&#8217;s Ranji team for a good period of time before he started playing for Kerala due to lack of chances. For the 2019-20 season, he signed up for Puducherry. In his IPL career, he played just 17 matches and although he had some bright moments, he could never make it big.

The 33-year-old is still hopeful of earning an IPL contract for the first time since 2011 and the upcoming Ranji season will be crucial in his pursuit. It will be interesting to see how well he fares with his new team.

Making his FC debut at a tender age of 14 for Baroda, Swapnil Singh was expected to make a huge name in the Indian cricket fraternity. At the age of 16, he was picked up the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/mi-mumbai-indians/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Mumbai Indians</strong></a> for the first edition but unfortunately for the youngster, he couldn&#8217;t make his IPL debut for the next 8 years till he was snaffled by Kings XI Punjab in 2016.

Beginning his career as a bowling all-rounder, Swapnil Singh improved his batting quite drastically. In the 2017-18 season, he was the highest run-scorer for Baroda in the Ranji Trophy, amassing a brilliant 565 runs in just 6 games. He&#8217;s currently contracted with the Kings XI Punjab and has played five games for them.

He&#8217;s been a pivotal contributor in the domestic circuit for Baroda and the upcoming season holds a lot of importance to determine where his career heads from this phase. The 28-year-old still has a lot of good years left in him and will be eager to make the most of the opportunities he&#8217;ll be getting in the coming months.

Taruwar Kohli was a part of the 2008 U19 Indian team that lifted the World Cup under Virat Kohli&#8217;s captaincy. The Punjab all-rounder made his mark in the tournament with some good performances and was expected to churn out some big performances in the Indian Premier League as well.

Taruwar Kohli was signed up by the eventual champions in the first season, the Rajasthan Royals. He then moved to his hometown franchise Kings XI Punjab under the leadership of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/5-players-who-can-be-the-next-yuvraj-singh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Yuvraj Singh</strong></a>. He was an important member of the Punjab Ranji side as well, but once he was getting sidelined, he moved to Mizoram for better opportunities.

He was Mizoram&#8217;s leading run-scorer with 373 runs in the last season of Ranji Trophy and also picked up the most wickets (8). The 30-year-old is extremely keen on earning an IPL contract with some good performances in the 2019-20 domestic season.

Tamil Nadu&#8217;s fast bowling sensation Yo Mahesh made a great impression in his early days of the Indian Premier League, but slowly faded away in the increasing competition. Yo Mahesh was also a part of India&#8217;s 2006 U19 World Cup side and was signed up by Delhi Capitals for its first three seasons.

Mahesh picked up an impressive 16 wickets in the first season for the Delhi franchise but played just one match each in the next two seasons. He was then bought by the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/csk-chennai-super-kings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Chennai Super Kings</strong></a>, where he didn&#8217;t feature in the 2011 season but played 5 matches in the 2012 edition.

In 50 first-class matches for Tamil Nadu, picking up 108 wickets. Despite a bunch of impressive performances, his graph never took off the way he would&#8217;ve liked. He most recently featured in the Tamil Nadu Premier League as well.
