IPL 2019: Four debutants to look forward to 

#4 Jonny Bairstow (England) by the Sunrisers Hyderabad for ₹2.2 crore

Jonny Bairstow

England has become a dominant force in white-ball cricket in the last two years. A lot has been made possible by their aggressive opening pair of Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow. Bairstow, who was mainly a test specialist for England earlier has made a sensational transformation into a match-winner in limited-overs cricket. He has been prolific with the bat.

While his partner Roy got picked up in the last season, it's his turn now to showcase his skills in the world's biggest T20 league. Roy struggled after the powerplay when he had to face spin and his continuous failures saw him eventually getting dropped.

Bairstow, who will not be available for the entire season will be hoping that he counters the spin threat well. His wicketkeeping skills may also be tested because the Hyderabad pitch has traditionally been a little bit on the slower side and has assisted the spinners.
