Here’s a look into 5 such players who can gear themselves up for lucrative deals and feature in the T20 tournament.
#5 Corey Anderson
Corey Anderson is one of the most prestigious all-rounders in the cricket world right now. A left-handed batsman and medium pace bowler, he first came into light after he smashed his way to the then fastest century by smoking the West Indies bowling line-up into smithereens in just 36 balls.
He was picked by the Mumbai Indians for a bargain price and the all-rounder’s performances has been creditable. The innings wherein he scored 95 runs off 44 balls and helped Mumbai Indians qualify for the playoffs when they required 190 runs in just 14.3 overs against Rajasthan Royals will always be remembered. Sent in after the fall of the first wicket, Anderson did not look back at all, smashed the Royals bowlers to all parts and claimed a massive victory for his team.
If he gets a contract in the Big Bash League, his big-hitting prowess and hit-the-deck bowling will surely come to the fore in Australia.
