5 stars from the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy who could go for big bucks in the IPL auction
The Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy being a high-profile domestic tournament played in the T20 format, its timing was just right considering the fact that the ICC World T20 is just round the corner. Indeed, the good performances of a lot of young players like Hardik Pandya helped them get noticed by the national selectors.Players like Pandya have also been retained by their IPL franchises. But there are quite a lot of players who put in stellar performances in the tournament but have not been retained by their IPL franchises. They are sure to attract a lot of bidders when they go under the hammer in tomorrow’s auction.Let us look at the top 5 players from the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy who might go for big bucks tomorrow.
#5 Rohan Prem
Every T20 team needs a player who can do the unfashionable, dirty work. Someone who can play the sheet anchor's role and quietly carry out his responsibilities. Rohan Prem is that type of a cricketer who can be relied upon whenever his team is in trouble.
Someone who quietly goes about his business, much of Prem’s good work in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy was overshadowed by the fact that he could manage an unimpressive strike-rate under 120 in the tournament. But his statistics tell a different and stellar story.
It was his contributions that played a leading role in helping Kerala do so well in the tournament. Prem finished with a total tally of 356 runs at an average of almost 45 in the tournament. He would be a great treasure to have for any IPL franchise.
