IPL 2020: 5 first-time overseas buys to watch out for in upcoming IPL season

Here are the five must-watch first-time foreign players in IPL 2020.

JOSH PHILIPPE (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Josh Phillippe | GettyJosh Phillippe may not be a big name at the moment in cricket, but the 22-year-old Western Australian has made quite a name for himself in the Big Bash League for Sydney Sixers. Royal Challengers Bangalore got him for his base price and though it seems innocuous for many, but is actually a pretty clever buy.

Phillippe is known for his acumen to play spinners in Australia and given the Bengaluru pitch which is conducive to spin, his expertise might come in very handy. Plus, he opens the batting while keeping wickets; meaning that his expertise leaves a place empty for another player in the XI. It leaves to be seen whether he gets chances to play for RCB, but when he gets, be sure to see something special from him.
