1. Phil Salt

England’s Phil Salt was a surprise unsold player in the IPL 2024 auction, as he had lit the recent T20I series with two centuries to his name. He has 639 runs in 21 T20Is for England with two tons and two fifties and has the highest score of 119. His super-impressive strike rate of 165.27 makes him a no-brainer choice at the top to utilize full advantage of field restrictions.
In 228 20-over games, the explosive stumper-batter has 5,302 runs with 2 centuries and a strike rate of 153.41.
