#1 Colin Munro

Colin Munro has been consistent in the T20 format and is in supreme touch

Colin Munro was part of the Kolkata Knight Riders team in IPL 2016 and was released next year in 2017. At that point, Munro had hardly showed any performance with the bat. He had scored 30 runs in 4 IPL matches.

Currently Munro is the number one player in ICC T20 Rankings and also became the first player to score 3 centuries in T20 internationals. Munro has the ability to clear the boundary at will and also plays spin really well.

In the recent tour of India, Munro scored swashbuckling century against India in the second T20 match and demolished the Indian bowling attack. Playing for the Trinbago Knight Riders in Caribbean Premier League 2017, Munro scored 366 runs from 13 matches at a strike-rate of 135.05 to lead his team to the 2017 League title.

With Munro in the auction pool, it should not be surprising if he ends up as the costliest player for bidding.
