IPL 2017: The replacement XI

#8 Dwaine Pretorius

Pretorius is a handy all-rounder

Pretorius has been delivering match-winning performances for South Africa with both the bat and the ball over the last few months. The bowling all-rounder is also known for his big hitting, as was evidenced in the recently concluded series against New Zealand.

The Highveld Lions player, who has an economy rate of 4.7 in ODIs, might be willing to put in the extra mile in the IPL, in a bid to cement his place in the South African side

#9 Parvez Rasool

Rasool will be looking to use the IPL as a stepping stone to get back into the Indian team

The Jammu and Kashmir captain had an impressive Ranji Trophy season with both the bat and the ball and continued his good form in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The bowling all-rounder will fancy his chances of getting back into the Indian squad with both the frontline spinners, Ashwin and Jadeja nursing injuries.

Rasool also comes with the experience of representing three IPL teams over the years, and can utilise the tournament to get back into the Indian team after ordinary performances in the last T20 series against England in January.
