#2 James Neesham
The New Zealand all-rounder's only IPL appearance was way back in 2014 where he turned out for Delhi Daredevils. In the four matches he played for Delhi, James Neesham managed just 42 runs while picking up a solitary wicket.

The 29-year-old found no buyers after that and went unsold last season as well with a base price of INR 75 lakh. But having produced an all-round display at the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup where New Zealand finished as the runners-up, Neesham could earn a lucrative contract at the 2020 auction.
The southpaw, who scored 232 runs apart from picking up 15 wickets for the Kane Williamson-led side in England, will be on the radar of several franchises at the 19 December auction. Having released quality players like David Miller, Moises Henriques and most importantly Sam Curran, Kings XI Punjab could well enter into a bidding war with other franchises to rope Neesham into their 2020 IPL squad.
