Joe Root
English skipper Root will be playing his maiden IPL and could fetch some high bids. Root's experience of playing on Indian sub-continental pitches is more than that of most of the other overseas captains.
Trending
Root has scored 375 runs in his 9 T20I innings played in India with an astounding average of 53.57 and a strike rate of 128.86. Root made his T20I, ODI and Test debuts in India.
Root would be a key choice for teams like Kolkata Knight Riders, Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Daredevils, which are looking for a prominent captain for their squads. His fellow Englishman and teammate Ben Stokes went for big bucks in the previous edition of IPL.
