5 90s batsmen we would have loved to watch in the IPL

Nathan Astle

Nathan Astle epitomises a carefree attitude, he was perhaps the most belligerent Kiwi batsman in his time, and his medium pace of a short run up made him a complete package as a cricketer.

He was a laid back character, and enjoyed his life and that reflected in his free spirit batting. He entered the record books, with his 153-ball double century, which is the fastest double century.

Astle was also a fantastic slip fielder and had a sharp cricketing mind. All these traits could have made him a certain superstar in the IPL. A decade too early then Nathan!
