Any team would like to use his spin experience and use him in the middle overs.
5) Ravichandran Ashwin
One name which never disappoints in IPL is Ravichandran Ashwin. His recent comeback to the ODI and T20 squad of team India, has proven to be deadly for the opposition. While playing for DC, Ashwin was their go-to wicket-taker. Unfortunately, IPL 2021 was a disappointment for the player but considering his recent international performances, Ashwin will attract every IPL team in the mega auction. He has 61 wickets in 51 T20 international games and his credentials can’t be ignored.
