IPL 2019: One overseas player from each franchise who might be underutilized

#6 Oshane Thomas - Rajasthan Royals

Oshane is one of the future stars for WI

Oshane Thomas came into the limelight after some phenomenal performances in the 2018 CPL. He was also exceptional for the West Indies during the tour of India.

The 21-year-old is a solidly built fast bowler, who possesses great pace. Rajasthan Royals signed him for INR 1.1 crores but his involvement in the playing eleven will be limited. The overseas resources for RR contain big names like Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, and Ish Sodhi, who are expected to play a key role.

#5 Heinrich Klaasen - Royal Challengers Bangalore

The South African wicket-keeper batsman gained the spotlight during India's tour to South Africa where Heinrich Klaasen outclassed the visitors' dominating leg spinning duo to take South Africa home in a stiff run chase and won the Man of the Match award.

The 27-year-old made it to the national side in absence of Quinton de Kock and made full use of the opportunity by converting his performance to an IPL contract. He joined Rajasthan Royals as a replacement of Steve Smith last season. But after not making enough impact, Klaasen was released by RR only to be grabbed by Royal Challengers Bangalore at the 2019 auction.

With overseas batsmen like AB de Villiers, Shimron Hetmyer, and Marcus Stoinis in the squad, Klaasen's chances will be limited.
