Josh Hazlewood (Rs 2 cr)
It is rather unbelievable that Hazlewood has set for himself a base price of Rs 2 crores, despite the fact that he last played a T20 game in any form way back in 2016. Since then, he has worked hard to become one of the best test bowlers for Australia, but nobody is aware if he can suit the demands of T20 cricket, which include variations in bowling apart from accurate line and length.
Moreover, he has just suffered a hamstring strain, which has ruled him out of at least two tests against New Zealand. With auctions just around the corner, this injury and unclarity about his T20 abilities, Hazlewood might not help his cause with such a high base price.
Test performances can’t be a parameter for selection in the tournament as big as IPL, and one must not be surprised he goes unsold in the auctions. Hazlewood might want to work upon his T20 figures if he has any chance of making it to any IPL franchise
