IPL 2019: One Indian player each team should target in the Auction

With the IPL Auction not far away, the pressure is now on the franchises to build up their squads. In the second leg of the twelfth edition of the tournament, a lot of big stars might withdraw from their respective sides as the World Cup looms large.

In this segment, let us take a look at one Indian player each team should buy in the Auction.

#8 Chennai Super Kings - Mohit Sharma

Buying Indian players are certainly gonna help the teams like Chennai Super Kings who really don't have any slot for overseas players, with a lot of talent in the young and the released players, teams would have a secret eye on them.

In the 2015 period, when a lot of youngsters got a chance to represent their country because of IPL, the pick of them was Mohit Sharma. After the 2015 World Cup, he was surprisingly never considered for the Indian ODI team. He has played 84 matches in the IPL with the best figures of 4/14 and at a decent economy of 8.

Mohit played for Kings XI Punjab in the 2018 edition. He should now probably reunite with his old franchise CSK. He performed decently under the Dhoni led franchise in the 2013 to 2015 editions.

CSK, who have a settled batting line up, are in a search of a reliable back up bowler. With no overseas slot available for them, they would probably fight in the auction for the seamer from Haryana.

#7 Sunrisers Hyedrabad - Naman Ojha

Naman Ojha is one of the players who never got enough chances to represent his country. He has played one Test, one ODI and two T20Is thus far. The wicket-keeper batsman's performance in the IPL has been quite decent over the years. Apart from a highest score of 94, he also scored a brilliant 79 in the 2015 edition for the Hyderabad franchise.

After releasing Wriddhiman Saha and Shikhar Dhawan, the Sunrisers have to buy a reliable and stable wicket-keeper batsman in the opening slot. Naman can be the ideal choice for such a role.
