#1 Joe Root
Ad
Joe Root is easily one of the world’s best batsmen. However, the England Test captain went unsold this year at the IPL auctions. Root has an average of 39 in the T20 internationals to go along with a strike rate of 130. He could prove to be the calming influence in any side, something that teams like Delhi and Punjab need in their middle order.
Root could prove to be an ideal choice for the Delhi Daredevils who did not have many choices in the middle order this year and who have an inexperienced leader in the form of Shreyas Iyer.
