5 Pakistanis who will be excellent in the IPL

#1 Imad Wasim

Imad Wasim

Pakistan's all-rounder Imad Wasim is somewhat of a late bloomer in international cricket, having debuted for the national team when he was 27, but that has not stopped him from becoming one of their most important players over the last two years. His quick, left-arm off-spin has proven to be mightily effective. The trajectories at which he bowls and subtle changes in pace have made him such an effective bowler.

He has opened the bowling for Pakistan as well and an economy rate of 6.07 puts him in the elite group. Moreover, he has a strike rate of 20 in 25 T20Is so far. However, that is not all and Wasim has actually been an asset as a lower order batsman as well. He can handle all sorts of bowling and has the ability to score at a frenetic pace in the slog overs. A strike rate of 150.61 and an average of 20.21 in T20Is show that he can be an extremely damaging batsman.

He is the number 2 ranked bowler in the ICC T20 rankings and any T20 franchise in the IPL would want to have him in the side.
