One player who would have been both happy and disappointed during the IPL Auction is Siddarth Kaul. The 29-year-old was picked up by Sunrisers Hyderabad for 3.8 crore but also missed out on a deserved call-up to the Indian T20I side.

It would have been especially disappointing for Kaul considering the fact that he received his maiden ODI call-up for the Sri Lanka series, even though he failed to play in any match. Consistent performances in the domestic circuit have made him a household name and his ability to execute at the death makes him an invaluable addition to the side.

However, with the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat and Jasprit Bumrah already establishing themselves in the side, Kaul was once again ignored. However, consistent performances for the SRH in the IPL and for India A when he turns out for them will ensure that it is only a matter of when and not if he makes his international debut.
