There is absolutely no doubt about the credibility of the West Indies star batsman Marlon Samuels. During the IPL auctions this year, it was only ironical to see how the man of the finals of ICC World T20 2016 went unsold and the player who got smashed for four sixes in a losing cause emerged as the top buy of the season.

Samuels has been a perennial performer in the shortest format of the game. He has played for the now defunct Pune Warriors in the IPL history. In the recent times, he has served his trade in the Bangladesh Premier League and the Pakistan Super League. He has played 149 matches in the T20 format of the game.

He has 3757 runs to his name with 2 centuries to boast about. He can be a handy bowler in the lineup too. He is a proven wicket-taking option in the shortest format of the game. He has played 10 IPL matches thus far for his 9 wickets and a cumulative of 250 runs.
