#1 Kane Richardson

Kane Richardson has impressed a lot of fans with his fast bowling in the shortest format of the game. He has represented his nation in 15 T20I games and taken 17 wickets at an economy rate of 7.98. His bowling strike rate of 19.76 shows that he can make breakthroughs at regular intervals.
Because of his fantastic performances with the ball, Richardson had earned a contract from Pune Warriors India in the IPL. He has even been a part of the Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers in his brief IPL career. However, he has only got to play 14 IPL games where he has leaked runs at an economy rate of 8.38.
Richardson played his last IPL match way back in 2016 and has gone unsold in the previous couple of auctions. Because of the presence of Andrew Tye, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Coulter-Nile in the auction pool, the chances that any team would seek the services of Richardson are very low.
Just like Mustafizur Rahman, the Australian pacer might possibly get a bid from Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, the availability of better options may keep the 28-year-old pacer away from the tourney once again.
