#1 Johnny Bairstow
Johnny Bairstow is one of the most consistent batsman at the moment. He proved his dynamic ability by smashing a 24-ball 84 in the recent T10 League for Kerala Knights. His firmness in the middle order can help a lot in anchoring the side and preventing it from collapses.
Trending
The Englishman is one of those players on which all eyeballs will be struck at the time of auctions keeping in mind his current form and what he brings to the side. His wicket-keeping skills are another plus point.
The only thing that can constrain the side from buying will be his unavailability for the rest of the tournament as the England Cricket Board have announced all its players to return midway in the season but the franchises should not shy off from rendering his services in the early part of the tournament.
