IPL 2019: 5 International stars who could be making their IPL debut

#2 Mohammad Shahzad

The attacking opener has been in incredible form

Mohammad Shahzad should have played in the IPL given his talent and attacking mindset but that hasn't happened till now. The one thing that might have prompted the teams not to take him could be his fitness. He is not the fittest guy in the world, and the word IPL is synonymous with fitness as it is a long tournament.

He has brought himself in contention for an IPL contract this time around with his recent exploits in the T10 league in UAE where he slammed the fastest 50 in the history of cricket and is a proven performer all over the globe in domestic T20 competitions.

He is one of the finest Afghan batsmen right now and will be keenly following this year's auctions. Not only is he a phenomenal hitter of the ball and is also a keeper which adds value to any team that picks him.
