Siddarth Kaul- Sydney Sixers
Kaul's potential inclusion in the magenta colours does not have as much to do with the venue he'll be playing at, it is more of a very specific personnel requirement. Few in the world have the skill and character to step into the retired Doug Bollinger's shoes, perhaps Shapoor Zadran from Afghanistan is the one who comes the closest after Kaul.
Fast swing bowling with the shining white ball, suffocating scoring restrictions via skillfully executed knuckle balls and searing yorkers at the back end of the innings, Sid Kaul, the man hardened by the rigors of domestic cricket before coming into IPL limelight, is the bowler you would want in your squad not just to get those all-important wickets, but to be the energetic core in the side to rev up everyone.
Oh, and the headband!
