With a reputation of being a consistent performer in the shortest format of the game and having the experience of playing domestic T20s in both South Africa and England, Henderson was bought by Rajasthan Royals for a whopping $650,000. The fast bowling all-rounder, however, got just two games in his only IPL season.

Henderson could not replicate his county form in the IPL, and finished with just 11 runs from 2 matches at an average of 5.5 and strike rate of 68.75. With the ball he picked up a solitary wicket from the six overs he bowled at an economy rate of 6.67.

4. Graham Napier (Mumbai Indians, 2009)

After making headlines with a 58-ball 152 for Essex, which included 16 sixes, Napier was roped in by Mumbai Indians in 2009. The all-rounder, who bowled right-hand medium pace, made a solitary appearance for the Mumbai-based franchise - against Kolkata Knight Riders at East London.

In the only game he played, Napier scored 15 runs from 16 balls with a single boundary. With the ball, he finished with 1/27 in his quota of 4 overs at an economy rate of 6.75.
