Tom Banton is an excellent T20 batter with an impressive track record across franchise cricket. The England batter, however, could see himself stuck on the bench for a majority of the season with compatriot Jos Buttler expected to play all the matches at number three.

With Buttler, Rashid Khan, Rabada close to being guaranteed starters for GT and the team most likely opting for either Jason Holder or Glenn Phillips to operate as their batting all-rounder, expect Banton to wait on the sidelines for a chance. The 27-year-old has made just two appearances in the IPL, both coming for KKR back in 2020.
