IPL 2016: Five debutants to look out for

Jos Buttler

For the first time, the ECB has allowed two active players to be part of the cash-rich IPL, thus burying the hatchet on the previous differences with the Indian board. Buttler, the hard-hitting wicketkeeper from Somerset and one of the two players, has been an impactful part of England's new look side, combining aggressive strokeplay with a level head, a trait which saw him receive the Captain's cap for a T20 series against Pakistan last year.

Buttler came under the IPL radar with a whirlwind 46-ball hundred against Pakistan, the fastest ODI hundred by an Englishman, breaking his own record which he had set against Sri Lanka in 2014. His four ODI hundreds have come in 41, 61, 66 and 73 balls.

He was the subject of a bidding war between KKR and MI at the auctions this February, where he was purchased by the latter for 3.8 crores.
