IPL 2019: 6 upcoming players to watch out for

#5 Sam Curran (Kings XI Punjab)

Sam Curran was on fire during the Test series against India in 2018

Sam Curran posed sizable problems for India by making substantial contributions to both runs and wickets during the Test series in 2018. He scored 272 runs in 4 matches at an average of 38.85 and picked 11 wickets at 23.54. It was during this series when the 20-year-old caught the eye of franchises and fans alike.

Curran was subsequently bought by the Punjab-based franchise for a massive INR 7.2 crores. This made him an overnight millionaire as bagged the highest amount by a foreign cricketer in this year's auction.

Curran is a handy left-handed batsman down the order and a lethal seamer. He will surely be one of the first names on the KXIP team sheet this year.
