IPL Auctions 2018: 5 New Zealand players who could start a bidding war

#1 Colin de Grandhomme

de Grandhomme turned out for KKR in IPL 10

Tailor-made for the shortest format of the game, Colin de Grandhomme has all the qualities needed to make a living out of T20 cricket. An extremely clean striker of the ball, a handy bowler with both new and old ball, and blessed with a safe pair of hands, there is very little de Grandhomme cannot do on a cricket field.

The 31-year-old turned out for the Knight Riders last season, but did not have a great time and has subsequently been thrust into the auction pool for the upcoming edition of the T20 extravaganza.

In 134 T20s, de Grandhomme has an average of 25 and strike rate of 168, extremely healthy numbers indeed, and will not find it too hard to get a suitor in the auctions.
