IPL 2018: 5 Pakistan players who deserved a chance this time

#4 Hasan Ali

Hasan Ali has been a terrific pacer for Pakistan in recent times

Another rising young star of the Men in Green is the feisty Hasan Ali. The 24-year old is the perfect T20 player, considering he can bowl at a tremendous pace without faltering in his accuracy and also hit the big shots with the willow down the order. Credited as the key to Pakistan's victory in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, Ali has 21 wickets in 16 T20Is to his name.

Hasan Ali also broke the legendary Waqar Younis' records to become the fastest Pakistani to take 50 ODI wickets, taking up just 24 games to reach the record. The 2018 edition of the Pakistan Super League saw him take 12 wickets in 9 games with best figures of 3/22 for the Peshawar Zalmi side.

Hasan Ali could very well have fit into the Royal Challengers Bangalore side, which is being considered to be a little lacking in bowling firepower. His presence would give RCB that extra bit of oomph over the other sides and it would have been a real treat to watch seasoned batsmen like MS Dhoni and Chris Gayle face his pace!
