IPL 2022: 10 pinch hitters who can earn a surprise promotion
These players can take the opposition by surprise if promoted up the order.
3. Kagiso Rabada (PBKS)
There is no denying the fact that Kagiso Rabada remains one of the most lethal fast bowlers in world cricket. Moreover, the South African has worked on his batting since the past few years, and the results are clearly evident by his recent performances.
In a high-pressure chase against Sri Lanka in the T20 World Cup last year, Rabada showed his ability with the bat, smashing a four and a six to help his side earn a crucial win. The Proteas pacer has not got much of a chance in IPL with the bat, yet he could be someone who could be used as a pinch hitter.
Kagiso Rabada was bought by Punjab Kings at a staggering price of Rs 9.25 crore in the IPL mega auction. The franchise has plenty of power-hitters in their squad, however, Rabada could be utilized as a pinch hitter for unsettling the opposition with a left-right combination.
