5 players who were selected in IPL solely based on their BBL performances
BBL was the reason for these players to come into the limelight.
4. Jofra Archer
The Barbados-born bowling all-rounder was one of the most exciting cricketers going around before entering the IPL. Archer is capable of fiery spells with utmost accuracy apart from being a useful and an aggressive batsman in the lower order.
Jofra Archer started his career from playing for Windies in their U19 team. But he was extremely disappointed after not being picked for the Youth World Cup which led him to leave the Caribbean islands. The 23-year old has a tidy record in the Big Bash League, having picked up 16 scalps in 12 fixtures. His heroics for Hobart Hurricanes enabled him to bag a contract with Rajasthan Royals for INR 7.20 crores.
Although he missed the initial part of the season, the speedster had been decisive in the franchise making it to the playoffs. Archer played 10 matches, picking up 15 wickets at a decent average of 21.66 and has been retained by the Royals for the upcoming season.
