IPL Auction 2020: Assembled XI cheaper than Pat Cummins

#6 Jimmy Neesham

Super Smash T20 - Wellington Firebirds v Central Stags

Jimmy Neesham enhanced his reputation as one of the best all-rounders in the modern game after a stupendous outing in the World Cup this year. He is an aggressive batsman and also a wicket-taking bowler, and one wouldn't have been wrong to think that Neesham would have sparked a bidding war. However, none of that came to fruition as he was subject to just one bid worth ₹50 lakhs from Kings XI Punjab.

#7 Chris Woakes

New Zealand v England - ICC Cricket World Cup Final 2019

Chris Woakes was snapped up by the Delhi Capitals for his base price of ₹1.5 crore and is the third player from the franchise on this list. He is very good with the ball in hand and can bowl at any stage of the game. In addition to his bowling, he is also a useful batsman and can score runs at a brisk rate. The Englishman could form a deadly bowling combination with Kagiso Rabada for the Delhi-based franchise.

#8 Chris Green

BBL - Brisbane Heat v Sydney Thunder

Chris Green could well turn out to be the biggest bargain of this IPL auction. The uncapped Australian set his base price at ₹20 lakhs and was bought by KKR for the same price. He has been a revelation in the various T20 leagues around the world and has been highly effective as an economical off-spinner. He can bowl at any stage of the game despite being a spinner and picks up the odd wicket or two. The Sydney Thunder player is also good with the bat and is an excellent backup for Sunil Narine.
