There are many surprises in every IPL mini-auction, and lower-rated domestic cricketers never fail to surprise Indian fans in the IPL. Many uncapped players will be ready to capture their IPL spots this time too.
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and other domestic tournaments in India give a great platform for Indian players to showcase their limited overs activities. Among them, three uncapped pacers have grabbed the headlines and might turn numbers into real money in the mini-auction.
Here is the list of Indian cricketers who could attract huge bids of Rs 10 crore in the IPL mini-auction:
3. Rajvardhan Hungergekar
Maharashtra team’s fast bowler Rajvardhan Hungergekar, who played under-19 with Yashasvi Jaiswal, was selected several times in the IPL. Hangekar has been a part of Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants camps.
Hungergekar has taken 11 wickets in the last 7 matches for Maharashtra in this season of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The fast bowler produces some great quality and as an emerging talent in Indian cricket can be ideal to be selected in any team.
2. Raj Limbani
Baroda fast bowler Raj Limbani has been one of the standout performers who has caught everyone’s attention this season. Although he is just 20 years old, he has taken 15 wickets in 7 matches in this year’s Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
With career-best figures of 3/5, he has caused damage to the opposition’s batting order in the power play. Limbani is not a bowler with much tactical skill or much variety; However, his technique is given great importance in T20.
He simply attacks the stumps, moves the ball along the seam and instigates the batsmen to come down the field. With his age, he is all set to be a long-term fast bowler for India and hence he could be on the radar for teams like CSK, Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings or Sunrisers Hyderabad.
1. Auqib Nabi
The last name on this list has been one of the most famous names in Indian domestic cricket in the past seasons. It is Jammu and Kashmir fast bowler Auqib Nabi who came into limelight last season, but unlike the earlier known bowlers from the state, he is more of a pace bowler than a lethal fast bowler.
However, Nabi has been brilliant with the ball and has also taken 15 wickets in 7 matches in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy season. Nabi has also been a complete superstar and has been the main reason behind his team’s dominant performance in the Ranji Trophy.
With a staggering average of 13.26 and best figures of 4/16 with an economy of 7.41, he is renowned as a great swinger of the ball and has great control to bowl economically in the death overs. Among teams leaking runs in the powerplay, he will be an interesting demand, as teams like Mumbai Indians as well as LSG, SRH and CSK may be interested in keeping him, who will not be able to hold on to him much with their low purses.
