IPL 2018: 5 unsold bowlers who would have performed better than the replacements

#2 Ben Wheeler

Ben Wheeler

Ben Wheeler is one of the unsung and unknown heroes of New Zealand cricket. The pacer has been under-used over the years. He was selected in the New Zealand squad after the World Cup in 2015. He was also recalled for the T20 series against Pakistan in early 2018.

He has played 12 games for his country where he has taken 15 wickets and also scored 95 runs. Although he may not be an economical bowler, he can slow down the momentum of the opposition and can get a wicket or two. Ben Wheeler at a price tag of INR 50 lakhs could have been worth every penny if he was roped in as a replacement.
