IPL 2020: 4 South African players who never played the tournament but could have done well

#4. Allan Donald

Allan Donald was the nicknamed white lightning

272 ODI wickets an average of 21.79 defines the greatness of Allan Donald in the ODI format. He also has 330 Test wickets at an average of 22.25 to his credit and was one of the most successful bowlers to have played for South Africa in Test as well as ODI cricket.

He was extremely quick and used to unsettle the batsmen with his pace. He had a classical bowling action and was a delight to watch when he bowled.

He played a vital role in the growth and success of South Africa post their re-admission in international cricket. He was a match winner with the ball on his day. He along with Shaun Pollock were considered as one of the most dangerous opening bowling pair in international cricket in the 90s.

Donald had the knack of picking wickets with the new ball and used to bowl well in the death overs too. His pace and accurate bowling would have earned him a hefty IPL contract and he would have definitely tasted success in the T20 format too.
