IPL 2019: 5 promising players who could spark bidding wars at the Auction

#3 Sam Curran

Sam Curran

Sam Curran shot to prominence with an exceptional all-round display in the Test series against India. The young all-rounder troubled the Indian batsmen with his swing bowling and bailed out England from tricky situations a number of times with the bat.

And even though he has made a mark in the longer format, Curran can be a valuable addition to any side in T20 cricket too. The slightly-built all-rounder can bat anywhere in the batting order and can be effective with the ball in the Power Play.

Interestingly, Sam's elder brother Tom played IPL last year for Kolkata Knight Riders when he was called up as a replacement for Mitchell Starc. A thing that might go Sam Curran's way is the fact that he might not be in contention for a place in England's World Cup squad and can be available for the entire season. With all-rounders always being in demand at the auction, he is all set to earn big bucks.
