Bowlers (Vinay Kumar, Dale Steyn and Rahul Sharma)

Dale Steyn was another player who was expected to start a bidding war at the auctions after he made a brilliant comeback to the international cricket.
Apart from Steyn, Rahul Sharma and Vinay Kumar are the other two bowlers who went unsold in the auctions but make their way to this side after their successful run at the domestic circuit.
Playing XI: Brendon McCullum (Captain, overseas), Alex Hales (overseas), Reeza Hendricks (overseas), Saurabh Tiwary, Manoj Tiwary, Naman Ojha (Wicketkeeper), Rishi Dhawan, Parvez Rasool, Vinay Kumar, Dale Steyn (overseas) and Rahul Sharma.
Special Mentions: Hashim Amla, Kusal Perera, Jason Holder, Adam Zama and Chris Woakes are some of the players who were unlucky as they were not bought at the auctions and could also not make their way to this side as all of them are overseas players and could not fit in this squad.
