Top 5 players from yesteryear who would have set the IPL on fire had they played

#3 Clive Lloyd

Clive Lloyd had a strike rate of over 100 in test matches

Something very interesting happens every year in the IPL regarding West Indian cricketers. So there should not be any surprise that we have included two of the very best. The swagger that they bring with themselves is enough for them to earn an IPL contract. An ideal captain, Kings XI Punjab at this year’s auction would definitely have had targeted him as a perfect captain material (Obviously, if he was playing currently!).

Captaining West Indies he won two successive World Cups in 1975 and in 1979 and was certain to win for a third consecutive time until Kapil Dev’s men stopped him, but in the IPL there is no doubt that Lloyd would have had a major impact with both his captaincy and style of play. His calmness in the dugout and even on the pitch is much needed by franchises like DD and even RR who are struggling. Apart from his captaincy, he was known for his big shots batting in the middle order. He really would have given the finishing touches needed while batting. He also bowled decent medium pace. Thus he is slotted in at 3 on our list.
