5 Australian stars who failed to shine in the IPL

#3 George Bailey

Few people have had a career like George Bailey. From dragging his heels in the Australian domestic circuit to captaining his country on his debut, the right-hander has seen it all.

Despite his leadership credentials and unflappable temperament, Bailey has not quite made a mark in the Indian Premier League.

In 40 matches, Bailey has scored 663 runs at an average of 24.55 and a strike rate of 121.87.

Although, he was responsible for Kings XI Punjab’s glorious run in 2014 when the team made it to the final, Bailey himself could not quite etch his name and stamp any sort of authority.

Bailey has played for Chennai Super Kings, Kings XI Punjab, and Rising Pune Supergiant, but owing to his lack of impact, he went unsold in this year’s auction.
