#1 James Neesham

The Kiwi all-rounder has hit a purple patch off late and played a vital role in New Zealand's journey to the World Cup final. The 29-year-old has over 1568 runs and 106 wickets in the shortest format of the game and it came as a shock when he went unsold in last year's auction. James Neesham was bagged by Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) at a throwaway price of INR 50 lakhs. It was astonishing to see one of the best T20 all-rounders in recent times going at his base price, considering his current form at the highest level. The Punjab-based franchise will be pleased to have him in the side who can join in anytime with an injury-prone Chris Gayle in the mix. The value that he brings to the KXIP set up is more than what his contract amount suggests.
