IPL 2019: 5 players who could be million-dollar buys in this year's auction

#4 Hazratullah Zazai

Hazratullah Zazai

The left-handed opener from Afghanistan, Hazratullah Zazai has been in great form for his country. At the age of just 20 years, he has already broken several records in the cricket. One of the hard-hitting batsmen from Afghanistan, Zazai helped his team to clinch the T20 International series against Ireland. He scored back-to-back fifties during the series against Ireland, even outscoring the same team with his 82 off 54 balls in the 3rd T20I.

But it was in the first edition of the Afghanistan Premier League that he grabbed the headlines when he smashed six sixes in an over for Kabul Zwanan against Balkh Legends. Zazai, who already scored 44-ball century in the same tournament, equalled Yuvraj Singh and Chris Gayle's record of 12-ball fifty.

Despite most of the teams having some good opening batsmen, the Afghanistan opener is can fetch big bucks in the 2019 IPL auction. Rajasthan Royals will look to acquire him in the auction as they don't have any explosive batsman to open the innings with Jos Buttler.
