SUNRISERS HYDERABAD (SRH) – SHAKIB AL HASAN

Shakib Al Hasan missed the IPL 2020 due to the ICC's ban on him but is now available to return to the cash-rich popular league as well. He is mostly expected to be in the IPL 2021 auction and his former franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad will be highly interested in buying him back.

Shakib brings in amazing flexibility to the side, given that he can bat at the top, in the middle, and can play as the finisher as well. He bowls his four overs economically and is a wicket-taking bowler. He was also part of the SRH leadership group and with his experience can guide the youngsters like Priyam Garg, Abdul Samad, and Abhishek Sharma in the upcoming tournament as well.

KINGS XI PUNJAB (KXIP) – CHRIS MORRIS

Kings XI Punjab had bought Sheldon Cottrell with much hope in IPL 2020, but he failed to live upto the expectations. Hence, Punjab released him along with all-rounder Jimmy Neesham, giving them room to bring in a fast bowler and an all-rounder for IPL 2021.

And who better than South Africa’s Chris Morris to fulfill those roles. He bowls in high 140 kph speeds and his explosive batting at the end is a bonus for the team, which let go Glenn Maxwell as well and need a decent finisher.
