IPL 2020: Top 5 bargain buys from the auction 

#2 R. Sai Kishore - ₹20 Lakhs

R. Sai Kishore was the leading wicket-taker in Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy

T20 Matches - 22, Wickets - 25, Average - 16.76, Strike Rate - 18.4

Tamil Nadu's left-arm spinner, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore had grabbed the headlines with his magnificent performance in Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy 2019. He led his side's spin bowling attack from the front as he troubled the opposition batsmen with his bowling. His 3/10 against Punjab and 3/18 versus Mumbai had ensured him an IPL contract.

The fans expected Kishore to get a good deal in the auction but apart from his home franchise, Chennai Super Kings, no one showed any interest in him. Sai Kishore has played a lot of cricket in Chennai hence, he will be a major game-changer for them in IPL 2020.

#1 Chris Green - ₹20 Lakhs

Chris Green was bought at his base price

T20 Matches - 78, Runs - 501, Wickets - 64, Catches - 40

Kolkata Knight Riders have formed one of the best spin bowling attacks in the world by adding Chris Green to the team. They already had two world-class spinners in Kuldeep Yadav and Sunil Narine hence, in IPL 2020, Kolkata would prefer to play on the spin-friendly wickets. South African all-rounder, Green has made a name for himself with his off-break bowling.

The 26-year-old has kept a check on the run flow and his economy rate of 6.71 showcases his talent. Since he had been performing well in the overseas T20 leagues, the cricket universe felt that he may ignite a bidding war in the auction but Kolkata signed him for just ₹20 lakhs at the event.
