IPL 2018 Auction: 5 Uncapped players to watch out for

#2 Basil Thampi

Basil Thampi

Death overs specialist Basil Thampi is a contender for franchises looking to get an Indian bowler who can bowl at the death. Franchises want to invest in overseas batsman who can whack the ball out of the park, they look to procure Indian bowlers and it is tough to find Indian bowlers who can bowl at the death. Basil Thampi is a bowler who can bowl six yorkers in an over. Thampi has played 12 games and has picked up 11 wickets, he'll be looking to better his stats in this year's tournament. In the previous edition, Thampi was procured by the Gujarat Lions for ₹85 lakhs, the young pacer will be hoping to fetch more than this in this year's auction as a more established bowler.
