5 Cricketers who can set IPL 2019 ablaze if UAE hosts the tournament

# 1 Glenn Maxwell

Glen Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell had a dream IPL season in 2014 with Kings XI Punjab. He was very much influential for the team in the first phase of IPL 2014 that he comes up as the most influential player who can succeed if IPL is held in UAE.

In the third match of IPL 2014 season against CSK, Maxwell hit a massive 95 to take Kings XI Punjab to the finish line. Then came the wonderful Maxwell-Miller combination in the game against Rajasthan Royals and Maxwell was dominant among the two scoring 89. Maxwell Juggernaut did not stop in the UAE and he scored another 95 runs in the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Maxwell has never been able to recreate his success of IPL 2014 in the later editions of the tournament. But if IPL 2019 is hosted by UAE, then it presents Maxwell with a golden opportunity to be the influential batsman doing justice to the talent that he possesses.

Glenn Maxwell was released by Delhi Daredevils from the IPL 2018 team roster and is available to be grabbed by franchises in the IPL 2019 auctions to be held on December 18 in Jaipur. Looking at his history in UAE, Glenn Maxwell is the number one player who can set the IPL 2019 ablaze.

Honourable Mentions:

1. Sandeep Sharma - He had three-wicket hauls twice in the UAE phase of IPL 2014 and will stake a claim to bowl alongside Bhuvneshwar Kumar for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

2. Murali Vijay – He had two half-centuries in the UAE phase of IPL 2014, one against Mumbai Indians and one against Sunrisers Hyderabad during his stint at Delhi Daredevils. CSK may want to see those stats before thinking of benching him like in IPL 2018.

3. Dwayne Smith – Smith also had two half-centuries in the first few games in UAE while playing for Chennai Super Kings. But with him going unsold in IPL 2018, it is uncertain whether he might be considered by the franchises for IPL 2019.
