IPL 2018: 5 star batsmen who could come in as replacements

Hashim Amla's exclusion was the biggest surprise of the IPL Auction 2018

#3 Eoin Morgan

Eoin Morgan is known to play innovative shots like reverse sweep and paddle scoop.

England's ODI and T20I skipper surprisingly went unsold during the IPL auction 2018. Morgan comes from the rare breed of 360-degree players who can play all around the park with extreme ease. He is a big striker of the ball as well.

In the past, Morgan has played for the Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Kings XI Punjab. Since he is not a part of England's test setup, he will be available for the entire season if he is picked as a replacement.

Morgan's inclusion can boost the batting strength of any side by multiple times since he is a crafty player with a wealth of experience.
