5 Big Bash stars to watch out for in IPL 7

The third season of the Big Bash League saw supreme standard of T20 cricket being played. There were some spectacular performances, as usual. Some were so spectacular that they caught the eye of the presumably ignorant IPL franchises. Hence, numerous BBL stars will be adorning the Indian Premier League this season.Lets have a look at 5 BBL sensations we must keep an eye on:- 

#5 John Hastings - Chennai Super Kings

Standing at over 6’5 feet tall and weighing over 220 pounds, John Hastings can well be confused with a WWE wrestler. Along with Jackson Bird, he was an indispensable asset with the ball in hand for Melbourne Stars. In 9 BBL games, he picked up 13 wickets. With an economy rate of 6.15, he proved to be extremely miser as well.

‘Duke’, as he’s lovingly called, with all his physical strength, isn’t a tearaway speedster. Instead, he relies on subtle variations in pace and length to oufox the batsman. He is no mug with the bat either and can deliver a few lusty blows down the order.

Chennai Super Kings made a super buy in Hastings at 50 lakhs given the all-round prowess he brings to the table. In his first IPL season itself, ‘Duke’ may well have to spearhead the CSK bowling attack. Hopefully, the pressure of responsibility brings the best out of him.
