3 uncapped Indians who could be hot picks
Yashasvi Jaiswal (Mumbai)
Yashasvi Jaiwal is an ideal candidate to sweep away all the accolades in this IPL auctions. He has done the rags and now perhaps it is time for him to get the riches. From selling to panipuri and sleeping in tents in Mumbai, he became the youngest batsman to score a double century in List A cricket when he achieved this feat in the Vizay Hazare trophy. Also, he smoked 25 sixes in only six games in the tournament.
Ravi Bishnoi (Rajasthan)
He is a leg-spinner who has a superb googly, he is also a handy lower order batsman and also a solid fielder. Bishnoi has all the traits to be a perfect fit in any IPL side and he has shown his pedigree in the youth ODIs where he picked up 12 wickets in seven matches at an economy rate of 4.37. Quite a number of teams need a solid wrist-spinner and this is what could see Bishnoi’s stocks rise at the auctions.
Virat Singh (Jharkhand)
Jharkhand’s Virat Singh has been one of the top performers in white ball cricket in India’s domestic cricket Even in this season, he has scored 335 runs in the seven matches he played in the Vijay Hazare at an average of 83.75 and a strike rate of 100.60. Also, he peeled off 343 runs in the 10 matches he played at the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
The youngest and the oldest

Hot picks from England

Tom Banton
Tom Banton is a young ‘keeper batsman, who does know how to hit it big. He recently made his T20 debut against New Zealand.

Chris Jordan
In many ways, Chris Jordan is England’s best bowler in T20s. But somehow he hasn’t got the best of deals in IPL auctions. His previous stints at the IPL have not been very productive, but this season, he could one of the bigger picks at the auctions.
Eoin Morgan
For all his talent, demeanour and approach, Eoin Morgan has never been able to crack the IPL code. However, this has been a superb year from him – leading England to World Cup glory and for being one of the most destructive batsmen in the format. He recently captained Delhi Bulls in the Abu Dhabi T10 league and smashed 175 runs in just six matches at a splendid strike rate of 186.
