1. Phil Salt

The English batter Phil Salt is known for his explosive batting in T20Is. In recent times, he has displayed his phenomenal capability several times to help England win the games in the shortest form of the sport. At the 2023 IPL auction, he was expected to grab huge bucks but that didn’t happen as Delhi Capitals (DC) only raised their bidding paddle to include him in their team. 

After getting sold to DC at his base price of INR 2 crore, Salt will look to make his debut in the league this year. However, the 26-year-old should’ve attracted the attention of LSG in the mini-auction as the franchise spent a hefty sum on Pooran, who couldn’t do much for the West Indies in the T20 World Cup 2022. 

In 2022, Salt looked exceptional with his bat scoring 245 runs in 13 T20I contests at a mind-boggling strike rate of 161.18. The English cricketer also displayed confidence on the sub-continent pitches as he smashed 167 runs in seven T20I matches at a strike rate of 157.54 in the series against Pakistan.
