5 Pakistan players who would have been in demand at the IPL Auction 2019

#3 Shoaib Malik

Pakistan v New Zealand - 3rd One Day International

A seasoned campaigner who brings truckloads of experience into any situation, Shoaib Malik is another popular name in T20 cricket. In 108 games played for Pakistan, Malik has as many as 2190 runs under his belt and is the third highest run-getter in T20I cricket as of now.

With a calm head on shoulders, Malik can serve multiple capacities coming into bat in the middle-order. From anchoring an innings to upping the ante in the death overs, the T20 veteran can don one too many avatars as dictated by the game's scenario.

Apart from proving his worth with the bat, Malik can also chip in with a few handy overs with his wily off-breaks, making him a valuable all-rounding asset in a dynamic format.

On a hypothetical note, the former Pakistan captain would be a sought-after player at the IPL auction. Experienced all-rounders generally tend to draw a higher number of bidders each year and the case of Shoaib Malik would certainly be no different.
