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

#1 Babar Azam

Pakistan v New Zealand - 3rd One Day International

Flourishing as one of Pakistan's most prolific run-scorers, Babar Azam would be a red-hot property at the auction. Fortifying his caliber with a rating of 858, Azam currently occupies the numero uno spot in the ICC T20I rankings for batsmen.

On course to becoming one of Pakistan's batting mainstays in the limited over formats, the 24-year-old has witnessed a substantial growth in his credibility as a gifted player all across the globe.

In addition to being one of the quickest men to score 1000 runs in ODI cricket, the Lahore lad even shattered Virat Kohli's record to become the fastest to reach 1000 runs in T20Is.

In the 26 T20 games played for his country, Azam has amassed 1031 runs at an astonishing average of 54.26 and an impressive strike rate of 124.37. Hypothetically, the youngster would have been an ideal bet to put an end to the middle-order conundrums of a few teams in the IPL.
