IPL 2016: 5 star players who can still feature as replacements

Rilee Rossouw

The elegant southpaw is a solid top-order player

The talented South African southpaw who has a healthy T20I strike rate of 137.97 is a solid top-order player. He is someone who loves to play the ball on his merit and also capable of unfurling the big strokes when required.

He previously played in the IPL for the Royal Challengers Bangalore and he didn’t do justice to his talent as he only scored 53 runs in the 5 games he played. Rossouw is a much better player than that as his T20I average is 29.72 and in the days when the technically sound players like Virat Kohli, Steve Smith and Joe Root are ruling the roost in the shortest format, the elegant Russouw can also be expected to succeed if he is given the opportunities.
