D'Arcy Short (Base Price: 20 lakhs)

D'Arcy Short is taking the cricket world by storm with his heroics in the ongoing Big Bash League. With 504 runs in nine innings so far, the left-hander has already scored the most number of runs by a batsman in one season. With two scores of 96, 97 and an unbeaten 122, Shot has sent a message to the IPL franchises ahead of the auction.
Apart from being an explosive batsman at the top of the order, Short is also a chinaman bowler and is capable of giving his captain some overs in the middle. With the wickets in India assist the spinners, he could be handy as a team's sixth bowler.
