SHAKIB AL HASAN (BAN)

Shakib Al Hasan had missed the IPL 2020 due to the one-year ICC ban on him. Now that he has returned to international cricket after his ban ended, Hasan might become the flavor of the IPL 2021 auction, given his exploits as an all-rounder in the T20 format.

The 33-year-old has 5080 runs and 360 wickets in 317 T20 matches and is vastly experienced in the IPL as well, playing for Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Hyderabad franchise suffered a lot due to his absence, as they tried to cover for his talents by tweaking their playing XI a lot, without big results.

Expect franchises to shell out big bucks for Hasan, as not only he brings his talents as an all-rounder to the table, he is also a potential captaincy material for any franchise looking for a new leader.
