2018 IPL auction: Five players who are likely to fetch the highest bid

Colin Munro (New Zealand)

New Zealand v Sri Lanka - 2nd T20

Estimated auction price: ?8-10 crore

A once middle-order batsman, now promoted up top, Colin Munro has proved himself to be one of New Zealand's most reliable big hitters. His ability to tee off from ball one has often provided his teams with brilliant starts as he often makes the best out of the power play.

Being the only player to have three T20 international centuries, Munro has brought in a sense of consistency to his game. A handy fielder and a part-time medium fast bowler is likely to commence a bidding war for his services.
