Players who could be bargain buys in 2019 IPL auction
The 12th edition of the Indian Premier League is all set to begin in March 2019. On December 18, we are set to witness the auction in Jaipur. In the IPL 2019 auction, many utility players will be up for grabs, as teams have only retained their core and released other names. Here we analyze the players who could be bargain buys.
Mohit Sharma has the necessary experience
Mohit Sharma was released by Kings XI Punjab after a dismal 2018 campaign. The former Chennai Super Kings pacer was a regular feature from 2013 to 2017. He has 90 wickets in 84 matches and could come for a relatively lesser sum. Mohit can give a side desired wickets and he has shown that in the past. He puts in a shift while bowling.
Proteas man Hashim Amla a safe option
Hashim Amla had a terrific season in IPL 10. He amassed 420 runs for KXIP and was terrific atop. He was ignored in IPL 2018 auction rather surprisingly. But this time, Amla could get a deal. He is a definite bargain buy for teams looking to be assured. He hasn't been in the best of form recently, but Amla adds that vitality.
England's Chris Jordan a valuable bowling option
England's Chris Jordan could add the depth in any team he features for. After being released by Sunrisers Hyderabad, Jordan is available and teams could opt for him. He is someone who can deliver wickets. The fast bowler had a decent show in the recent;y concluded T10 League in the UAE. With 137 scalps from 134 matches, Jordan could be a valuable addition.
Mohammed Shami is in good form
Mohammed Shami was shown the door by Delhi in the IPL trade window. The player was bothered by personal issues last season and didn't hit it off. Now he looks at his best. He has been among the wickets in Test cricket and is fighting for a spot in the ICC World Cup 2019. With Rs. 1 crore base price, Shami could be efficient.
