IPL 2020: Team-wise one batsman who can opt for mid-season transfer
To add more spice and excitement to the league, IPL has come up with the mid-season transfer policy.
8. Kolkata Knight Riders- Tom Banton
Tom Banton, having a bit of Kevin Pietersen in the way he plays, has been touted as one of the future limited-overs superstars of England, Naturally, Kolkata Knight Riders would have been overjoyed getting him on board, But in the current scheme of things, Banton seems like a misfit in this team.
Making his maiden appearance in BBL 2019/2020, the youngster made the world sit up and take notice. He smashed 223 runs in 6 games at a jaw-dropping strike rate of almost 180 which included a 16 ball 50. He is a very aggressive batsman and has a mastery over playing al the innovative shots like the scoops and paddles.
KKR has been opening with Sunil Narine for a few years now, and he has been considerably successful for them. Despite his failures this season, they have been hesitant in dropping him as he adds a lot with his bowling too. Andre Russell, Eoin Morgan and the million-dollar baby, Pat Cummins, are definitely going to play all the games.
This makes Banton’s entry into this team extremely difficult. Hence, while Banton may be an exciting prospect for a lot of teams, KKR can definitely do without him.
