#1 Joe Root
Joe Root was one of many Englishmen who failed to find any takers in the auctions. Root has never featured in the IPL till date which is quite surprising considering his ability to play spin well.
Trending
Root is one of the most bankable players in world cricket at the moment. If he is indeed roped in by Mumbai, he could slot in at No. 4 which would allow Rohit Sharma to open the innings and not worry about stabilising the middle order which he tried to do rather unsuccessfully last season.
Root has the ability to switch gears at will. He averages 39 in T20Is and strikes at 128, commendable numbers indeed.
