One fast bowler each IPL franchise should target at the auction

Kolkata Knight Riders - Dale Steyn

Dale Steyn is one of the best bowlers ever to grace this game. Being in great shape at the moment and returned to full fitness, Steyn can be a real bowling asset for any IPL team at the auction. He is a decent death bowler who can create ripples in the mind of the openers with the new ball. Having played in the IPL before, Steyn is familiar with the conditions as well as the expectations from the seamers.

With the Kolkata Knight Riders releasing Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Johnson and Tom Curran, they need to buy an experienced foreign fast bowler to mentor their young domestic seamers. Hence, Dale Steyn is the right man for the job.

Sunrisers Hyderabad - Chris Woakes

Chris Woakes is probably among the best bowlers available at the 2019 IPL auction. He is a brilliant bowler who knows to vary his length as well as his pace. Woakes can also provide useful contribution with the bat in the lower order and can clear the fence with little efforts.

With the Sunrisers Hyderabad releasing Carlos Braithwaite, they need an all-rounder like Woakes in their side. Further, the inclusion of Woakes could also strengthen their bowling department.
