Big Bash League (BBL) and Indian Premier League (IPL) are two of the most popular leagues in the cricket world right now. While BBL is the number one T20 tournament of Australia, the Indian Premier League is the number one T20 tournament in the world.
Fans from across the world watch the IPL live. In fact, players use some other leagues as an audition for the IPL Auction, and many of them have earned contracts after performing well in other tournaments. One of those tournaments has been BBL. Here’s a list of four players who ruled BBL but flopped in IPL.
1. BBL star Ashton Turner has been a major flop in IPL
Ashton Turner has played five innings in IPL and his highest score is 5. He has three golden ducks to his name already. Turner has been a top performer for the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League, but IPL has been a tough tournament to crack for him.
2. BBL star Michael Neser proved to be a flop in IPL
Michael Neser has made a name for himself with his top performances in the BBL. However, the same cannot be said about IPL, where he played for Punjab Kings and leaked 62 runs on his debut and never played again.
3. D’Arcy Short
Hobart Hurricanes all-rounder D’Arcy Short came into the limelight after his phenomenal performances at the top of the order. However, the all-rounder could not replicate the same performances at international level or IPL for Rajasthan Royals.
4. Matthew Wade
Veteran Australian wicketkeeper batter Matthew Wade has been among the most successful BBL players. He hasn’t received too many chances to play in IPL, but he has failed to grab the opportunities that have come his way.
