IPL 2023: 5 teams that might target Phil Salt in auction
Phil Salt has over 3800 runs in 167 T20s, with 26 fifties to his name.
5. Rajasthan Royals
It was the best IPL season for Rajasthan Royals after winning the inaugural edition in 2008. They emerged as the runners-up, with a fine batting line-up and experienced bowlers. At the top, Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal were terrific to secure a quick start for the team.
However, Sanju Samson and Devdutt Padikkal were the only reliable run-scorers for the team in the middle-overs. The Sanju Samson-led side released Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham and Rassie Van Der Dussen, who could not be proficient with their performances.
With Buttler having a good knowledge of Salt’s abilities, he might vouch for the 25-year-old in the upcoming auction. Certainly, the team needs a quality overseas batters in the middle, and Salt might play the role of a finisher for RR.
