The Indian Premier League has become the most-followed cricket league on the planet. Recently, the BCCI President Jay Shah revealed the incredible viewership that the matches of the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League have received. Many famous players have been a part of the IPL.
However, not everyone has been equally successful in the Indian Premier League. While the likes of AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle, Lasith Malinga, DJ Bravo and Kieron Pollard have achieved tremendous success in the IPL, the following five players always lost whenever they played an IPL match.
1. One of the most famous Australian players – Michael Clarke
Former Australian captain Michael Clarke led his country to the 2015 Cricket World Cup trophy on home soil. He played only one season in the IPL, and it came for the Pune Warriors in 2012. Although Clarke performed decently, Pune lost all the six matches when Clarke was in the playing XI.
2. One of the most famous Australian players – Tim Paine
Another Aussie captain to feature on this list is Tim Paine. The current Australian Test captain played for the Pune Warriors in the 2011 edition of the Indian Premier League. He played two games for the team and Pune lost both.
3. Chamara Silva

4. Peter Handscomb
Another Australian player to feature on this list is Peter Handscomb. The right-handed batter played a couple of matches for Rising Pune Supergiant in IPL 2016. The Pune-based franchise suffered a defeat in both of the matches.
