3 Teams that can pick Alex Hales in IPL 2021 Auction
Alex Hales can be a great addition to these IPL franchises owing to his brilliant T20 records.
3. Royal Challengers Bangalore
The Virat Kohli-led side made a surprising move by releasing Aaron Finch this year. The Australian ODI and T20I captain was a good overseas pick batting in the top order. However, he failed to make it count really. He didn’t make any big impact on the league and was released ahead of 2021 auction. However, his exclusion might make them start thinking for a solid overseas opening batsman.
Considering Hales’ form, there is no doubt that he will be someone the RCB franchise would be interested in. Head coach Simon Katich, who is a travelling person in franchise cricket and an Australian, must have seen Hales from close quarters. This is something we are guessing that Katich would look at Hales as a good option.
Plus, Hales has experience of playing some match-winning knocks for England in the past. His name is known in the cricket circle and his style of batting will suit the batting-friendly tracks at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. In addition to this, like Rajasthan Royals, RCB still has an option of picking three overseas players, which makes them one of the franchises which might pick the England batter.
