IPL History: 5 famous cricketers who we may not know once played in the IPL

#3 Tatenda Taibu (Zimbabwe)

Tatenda Taibu

Tatenda Taibu, a name that most of the 90's kids may not forget. He was an excellent wicket-keeper batsman and belonged to the category of players who were extraordinary in the beginning and failed to maintain the same throughout the career. Seemingly that may be the reason most of the supporters probably have forgotten that he was once a part of the Indian Premier League.

The wicket-keeper batsman was brought by the Kolkata Knight Riders in the inaugural season of the IPL. But he had to wait for a long time to get an opportunity to play as the side had a star-studded lineup. Even when he finally got the chance, Taibu disappointed with the bat. The Zimbabwean cricketer scored just 39 runs from his 3 matches and thus wasn't employed by the team next year.
