5 Zimbabwean players who never played in the IPL but could have done well

#4. Henry Olonga

Henry Olonga burst on to the international scene as a tear away fast bowler in the year 1995. He was one of the fastest bowlers in international cricket during his playing days. He could bowl consistently above 90mph in international cricket. Though he was not very economical, he picked up wickets at regular intervals and was a go to bowler for the skipper every time he needed a wicket. The memory of Henry Olonga running through the Indian tail in a group match in the 1999 World Cup will be everlasting in the minds of Indian cricket fans.

He has 58 ODI wickets to his credit at an average of 34.08 with two 5 wicket hauls and best bowling figures of 6/19. Olonga was a vital member of the Zimbabwe squad in the 1999 and 2003 World Cups when the team made it to the super six stages.

Henry Olonga could have been a handy pick for IPL considering that he was a wicket taking bowler, who could really bowl quick and accurate yorkers, especially at the death.
