IPL 2020 Auction: 5 foreign players who can be the costliest picks

4. Tom Banton

A few months ago, Tom Banton was an unknown name in the cricketing universe but his performances in the Vitality Blast caught the attention of a major segment. He went on to make his debut shortly after England’s World Cup triumph and looked sharp with his stroke-making. At 21, he definitely is one of the brightest talents in world cricket.

He has a very clean and clear batting technique and avoids complications while trying to clear his front leg before going for a smack. He doesn’t back away from playing his shots and is a fabulous driver of the cricket ball. His ability to combat the spinners will be under scrutiny on the dry pitches in India, but it is almost certain that he will earn a huge contract.

Again, he fits into a lot of setups who are looking to buy players who can fetch them great returns in the long run. Although he might spend a couple of seasons in the IPL not getting many games, if he can prove his worth in the few chances he gets, we all will be talking very highly of this youngster from Nottingham.
