IPL 2020 Auction: 5 English all-rounders to watch out for

#5 Ravi Bopara

Bopara played a crucial role for Essex Eagles as they won the t20 Blast

While some of the players mentioned on this list may not have had too much experience of playing T20 cricket at the highest level, Bopara is the exact opposite of that. The all-rounder had played for England in all three forms of the game, and has played in several overseas competitions all over the world. He has had spells at the IPL in the past, appearing for the Kings XI Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad, but despite several decent performances, he has never really set the world alight.

At 34, Bopara is starting to focus on the shorter form of the game at the latter end of his career, something which has contributed to his move from Essex to Sussex. Despite his age, he is still a top player in this form of the game, and he showed this with a vital 36 not out, that took the Essex Eagles to a last-ball victory over the Worcestershire Rapids in the final of the T20 Blast.
