SIKANDAR RAZA (ZIM)
One of the most talented players to play for Zimbabwe, Sikandar Raza has become the cornerstone of their batting in recent times, especially in white-ball cricket. He bats in the middle order and can hit the big shots in the death overs.
He had to remodel his bowling action and with now a Sunil Narine-like action, he has been bamboozling the opposition consistently. Having made his debut in 2013, Raza has played 17 Tests, 123 ODIs, and 66 T20Is.
Raza has 3656 ODI runs with 6 centuries and a best of 141. He also has 70 ODI wickets to his name. In T20Is, he has 1259 runs at a strike rate of 128.26 and 38 wickets to his name. Overall in T20s, he has 3047 runs and 75 wickets in 155 20-over matches.
He was a star for Zimbabwe in the recent T20 World Cup with over 200 runs and 10 wickets to his name. Given his experience and current form for Zimbabwe, expect Raza to get some big bids in the IPL 2022 auction where all-rounders are highly valued.
