IPL 10: 5 unknown foreign players to watch out this season

The Indian Premier League has propelled many talented overseas players like Kieron Pollard, James Faulkner to stardom over the years. Many of these players were able to break into the International circuit mainly on the basis of their performances in the IPL.

Shane Watson and Shaun Marsh became the poster boys of Australian cricket after their stunning performances in the first edition of the Indian Premier League. Kieron Pollard became a global star mainly after his sublime performances for the Mumbai Indians.

The 10th edition of the Indian Premier League also consists of several highly rated overseas players who can make a huge impact if afforded opportunities by their respective franchises.

Let’s take a close look at 5 such unknown overseas players to watch out for:

#1) Billy Stanlake (RCB)

The 22-year-old Australian fast bowler who stands at 204 centimeters enjoys the ability to rack up the immense pace with an unnerving accuracy which makes him a worthy opponent for any batsman. His ability to generate pace and bounce has earned him a lot of acclaim from fans and experts which indicate why the Royal Challengers opted to take a gamble on him.

Stanlake can be a worthy partner for Tymal Mills and earn early breakthroughs which make him one of the most exciting overseas players to watch out for.

#2) Matt Henry (KXIP)

The 25-year-old Kiwi fast bowler is more than capable of bowling consistently at a pace of 140 kmph at a full length which is a pleasing attribute in case of any fast bowler. Henry has been able to earn four 5-wicket hauls in 14 first class games which indicate his efficiency.

The Kings X1 Punjab were aiming to sign a formidable replacement for Mitchell Johnson in the player auction and Matt Henry might just turn out to be the answer to their prayers.
