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

#2 Colin Munro - Delhi Daredevils

Munro has played only 9 IPL games so far

Colin Munro, who became the first batsman to slam three T20I centuries, is also a handy medium pace bowler. He is a typical aggressive opening batsman who likes to dominate from the first ball.

He began his IPL journey in 2016, where he played in the middle-order for Kolkata Knight Riders. He was released by KKR and Delhi Capitals grabbed him. The return of Shikhar Dhawan and the rise of Prithvi Shaw might hinder his chances in IPL 2019.

#1 Martin Guptill - Sunrisers Hyderabad

Guptill has scored only one fifty in IPL so far

The biggest name to make it on the list is another Kiwi opener, Martin Guptill, who is ironically the leading run scorer in T20 international cricket. Having played 76 T20Is, he has surprisingly managed to play only 10 IPL matches.

The New Zealander has been a part of Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Kings XI Punjab since joining the cash-rich league in 2016. The 32-year-old was bought by SRH in the 2019 IPL auction.

With the obvious overseas choices like David Warner, Kane Williamson, and Rashid Khan, the fight for the final overseas spot comes down to Shakib Al Hasan, Billy Stanlake, Jonny Bairstow, Nabi, and Guptill. Shakib Al Hasan seems the candidate because of his all-round abilities.
