5 90s batsmen we would have loved to watch in the IPL

Lance Klusener

The very first image that comes to mind when thinking of Lance Klusener is the 1999 World Cup, and Zulu striding out and smashing bowlers all over and then almost with disdain walking back after having won the match. That high backlift, clearing of the left leg and then smoking the ball everywhere was a sight to behold.

Add to it his bowling, and the fast swinging yorkers, it is almost as if Klusener was cut out for this format. Surely, he would have been one of the marquee players in the IPL.

In 171 One Day Internationals, Klusener scored 3576 runs at an average of 41 and an imposing strike rate of 89.

With the ball, he snapped up 192 wickets, with an average of 29.95 and an economy of 4.70.
