5 overseas players who might be benched for most part of IPL 2020
Some experienced names in the list.
5. Chris Jordan – Kings 11 Punjab
After going unsold in the 2019 IPL auction, former Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad man Chris Jordan was bought for INR 3 crores by KXIP.
Jordan has played only two IPL games in his last three years, and hasn’t quite offered enough with the bat. The Englishman, who is known for his pinpoint yorkers and slower balls at the death, has an IPL career economy rate of 9.03.
Glenn Maxwell, Chris Gayle and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are assured of their spots, and the final one could go to either James Neesham or Sheldon Cottrell, who adds a lot of variety to the attack with his left-arm pace.
Despite his price tag, it’s safe to say that Chris Jordan could warm the benches for most of this year’s IPL season, unless any of the players from the Punjab side gets injured.
