#2 Cameron Delport

Northamptonshire Steelbacks vs Leicestershire Foxes - NatWest T20 Blast
He can turn into the all-rounder KKR will rely on

Cameron Delport is a left-handed South African batsman and is all set to play for the Kolkata Knight Riders this season. He was sold to the franchise for a price Rs 30 lakh, which was an absolute steal for someone of his calibre.

He has played in various cricketing leagues across the world and now has a solid resume to his name in T20 cricket.

In the 139 T20s he has played, Delport has scored 3224 runs at an average of 26.42 and a strike-rate of 138.54.

He is also a medium-pace bowler who has scalped 48 T20 wickets with an economy rate of 7.59. He is the kind of player who helps maintain the balance of a cricket side.

He played a wonderful innings of 109 runs at 59 balls in the Natwest T20 Blast last year, which powered Leicestershire to the quarterfinal of the tournament.
