Windies Cricketers and IPL is a never-ending delight. Oshane Thomas may just be the next Windies superstar to set the IPL alight. This tall and heavy fast bowler from Jamaica is an absolute bundle of talent. The 21-year-old clocks 145 kph with ease and even touches 150 kph at times.

If he can add a little bit of swing to his alarming pace, he will cause havoc. If he can gain control over the lines he bowls, he can be a match-winner on his day. Thomas shell-shocked Shikhar Dhawan with his pace and swing in the first T20I, having rattled his stumps. He also got the big wicket of Rohit Sharma in the very same match. Though his economy is on the higher side, he can be a great addition to the teams that lack a genuine fast bowler such as the Kolkata Knight Riders.

Advantage: Fiery Pace and Height

Teams who could bid: Kolkata Knight Riders
