IPL 2018: Ideal replacements for David Warner if he is banned
The entire cricketing fraternity is in a state of shock after the recent ball-tampering incident involving the Aussie cricketers was exposed.
Many former players, fans and administrators expressed their anger on the shameful act by urging the board to ban those involved.
It has been learnt that David Warner might be banned for a year after his involvement in the incident, which might have an impact on the IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Here are the three players who can replace Warner for the 'Orange Army'.
#1 Shaun Marsh
Shaun Marsh is one of the very few players to have played for the same franchise during the first decade of the IPL.
Marsh, who plays for Western Australia in the domestic circuit has played for the Kings XI Punjab from 2008-2017.
He was the first ever Orange cap winner in the IPL history, as he scored 616 runs in just 11 matches during the first edition in 2008.
A consistent performer at the top, Marsh has contributed with the bat for the Kings XI in almost every season.
In 71 IPL matches, Marsh has scored 2477 runs at a strike-rate of 132.74, with his highest score being 115.
Marsh has amassed staggering 20 half-centuries and a century in his IPL career. A solid top-order batsman, Marsh is very reliable and an experienced campaigner when it comes to the IPL.
The Western Australian who has never tasted the IPL success, went unsold in this year’s auctions with a base price of INR 1.5 crore.
