CPL 2019: 5 lesser-known batsmen who can be useful picks in IPL 2020
These batters can turn out to be superstars if given a chance in the prestigious tournament in India.
Fabian Allen
Fabian Allen made his T20 debut back in 2017, but it was only in 2018 that he managed to grab the limelight to some extent. In one of the league games against the Barbados Tridents, he got 64 off 34 balls, representing the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. However, he was used more judiciously by his skipper Carlos Brathwaite. Allen mostly came during the death overs of an inning and weaved magic.
Allen is one of those batsmen, who can find the middle of the bat from the outset and that makes him a special talent. In 11 matches of CPL 2019, the right-hander piled on 218 runs at an average of 27.25 with a solitary half-century. Most importantly, the swashbuckling batter got those runs at a strike-rate of 177.23. Allen has also shown that he can restrict the batters, bowling in the powerplay.
