5 Lesser known cricketers who may attract bids in IPL 2021 Auction

3. Prerak Mankad

Prerak Mankad was one of the top performers of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021. His all-round brilliance had kept Saurashtra in the race for the quarter-finals in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. However, the team failed to clear the group stage and were knocked out of the tournament.

Prerak Mankad, however, made his presence felt and made the scouts look towards him. Finding a fast-bowling all-rounder of the Indian circuit is always a challenge and we have one in Prerak Mankad.

The all-rounder scored 205 runs at an average of 51 and a strike rate of 181. He also took 6 wickets in the tournament, thus ending the tournament on a high note. Many teams will look to get Prerak Mankad in their team and we are most likely to see a bidding war when his name is under the hammer.
