IPL 2020: Best XI of KXIP, KKR, RR and DC for the All Stars Game
If the recent reports are considered, one of the teams are likely to be formed by combining players from the franchises located in the North and East of India.
9. Pat Cummins (Kolkata Knight Riders)
Pat Cummins went on to hog most of the limelight in the IPL auction. Delhi Capitals (DC) and Royal Challengers (RCB) were involved in an intense bidding war after which the Knights jumped in. KKR put their first bid of INR 15 crore and then roped the Aussie speedster in at INR 15.50.
He became the second-highest grosser in the history of the IPL auction after Yuvraj Singh’s 16 crore. Cummins has earlier played for KKR, a team for whom he made his IPL debut in 2014 before moving to the Delhi Daredevils, now Capitals. Mumbai Indians bought him in 2018, but an injury ruled him out.
In 16 IPL games, Cummins only has 17 wickets, but his form for the Aussies made him a hot pick in the auction. With Pat in the side, Lockie Ferguson and Harry Gurney may not get a lot of chances. It would be great to see him play alongside the likes of Kagiso Rabada and Jofra Archer in the same team.
