5 Overseas Players who could be the most sought after at the IPL Auction

2. Sam Curran

Sam Curran could be a sought-after player considering his abilities as an all-rounder

At No. 2 on our list, is England’s all-rounder Sam Curran. He grabbed the headlines during India's tour of England in August this year as he became a nightmare for the Indian bowlers. Coming in at No. 8, he plundered runs along with the tail as the all-rounder was adjudged the man of the series in the 5 match test series. Following his success in that series, Curran was tipped to grab headlines at the Auction.

Overall in T20s, he has 42 wickets to his name in 46 matches with an economy rate of 8.24, numbers don’t justify the rare ability that Curran possesses as he can be a pinch hitter in the death overs and also be a new ball bowler for his team.

Though the left-hander has set his base price in the highest category at 2 crores it is likely that Curran will attract high bids as he may be available for the entire tournament as he is not a part of England's ODI plans and will probably not be a part of the World Cup.
