IPL 2018: 5 Indians for whom this year's IPL is of supreme importance

#3 Barinder Sran

Sran would want to make a big impact for KXIP

When Barinder Sran made his debut for India amidst a lot of raised eyebrows, he impressed one and all with his performances Down Under. Big things were expected of him as he bowled like a pro on Australian pitches that were alien to him.

Three years down the line, he is struggling to find a place for himself in the Indian limited over setup. It seems that his career is following the same path as most of Indian fast bowlers-a lot of promise initially but failure to live up to potential.

Thus, IPL 2018 might turn out to be a boon for Sran. He was picked up by the Kings XI Punjab in the player auctions and he will be looking to make a big impact for them in IPL 2018.

Being a left-arm pace bowler works in Sran's favour as he just might be the final piece that completes the jigsaw puzzle of Indian bowling unit in white ball cricket. He is tall, lanky and hits the bat hard. He offers something different to the Indian team with his variety.
