#2 James Faulkner
The former Rajasthan Royals' all-rounder, James Faulkner went unsold n the auction of 2018. It raised the eyebrows as even Rajasthan Royals also didn't bid for the Aussie all-rounder.
Faulkner possesses a deadly slower yorker, which has bamboozled many a batsman, which dips in at the last moment after initially appearing to be a juicy full toss.
Playing for many franchises in IPL like now-defunct Pune Warriors, Gujarat Lions and homecoming team, Rajasthan Royals, he has picked a total of 59 wickets in 60 matches. Impressive with the bat, he has scored 527 runs with a healthy strike rate of 135+.He could be the one who would have replaced Nathan Coulter Nile instead of Corey Anderson because of his bold play attitude.
Why James Faulkner?
Faulkner has a knack for bowling in the powerplay. Moreover, he is a proven death over specialist in IPL because of slower ball and variations. He also can score runs with his quickfire and power hitting abilities.
