Modified Mar 16, 2019 21:50 IST

3. Ashton Turner

Indian fans would certainly remember Ashton Turner for a long time because of his match-winning innings last week in Mohali. He is expected to debut for Rajasthan Royals in the latter half of tournament, when Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes are expected to join the England squad.

Turner has the ability and temperament to finish matches, and his captaincy experience in the Big Bash can certainly help in tough match situations.

4. Varun Chakravarthy

Very little was known about Varun Chakravarthy before Punjab decided to buy him for a staggering amount of Rs. 8.4 crore in the IPL auction. He was scouted at the Tamil Nadu Premier League, where he impressed everyone with his variations.

Varun's variations include googly, leg break, off break, carrom ball, flipper and top spinner. How his variations work in the IPL is a mystery for both the batsmen and the audience.

5. Anrich Nortje

Anrich Nortje is a steal for KKR at a price of Rs. 20 lakh. He is know as a tearway quick at the domestic level.

Nortje recently made his debut for South Africa against Sri Lanka; he took 6 wickets in 3 matches during that series, at an average of 19.17 and a decent economy of 5.23.

Nortje has the potential to be the death bowler that KKR have been looking for since a long time.
