#4 Sarfraz Ahmed

There have always been several takers for keeper batsmen in the IPL. In this season as well, Wriddhiman Saha has been picked by Sunrisers Hyderabad at Rs 5 crore, Dinesh Karthik by Kolkata Knight Riders at Rs 7.4 crore, Robin Uthappa by Kolkata Knight Riders at Rs 6.4 crore, Sanju Samson by Rajasthan Royals at Rs 8 crore and Jos Buttler by Rajasthan Royals at Rs 4.4 crore.
Given that Sarfraz can give the batting order flexibility as he can bat anywhere in the top, middle or lower order, he would have been a real asset for any team. The Pakistani Captain plays spin particularly well. His cheeky stroke-play and the ability to play the ball late would have made him one of the most coveted keeper batsmen in the IPL.
