IPL 2018: 5 star batsmen who could come in as replacements

#4 Kusal Perera

Kusal Perera showed his batting prowess in the recently concluded Nidahas Trophy.

The Sri Lankan southpaw showed glimpses of the brute force he possesses in the recently concluded India vs Sri Lanka series and the Nidahas trophy. He was the only one in the Sri Lankan batting line up who had the audacity to take the attack to the opposition irrespective of the game situation.

He spent an odd season with the Rajasthan Royals in 2013. Kusal found no bidders for him this time around. However, he is an ideal foil to fit in any IPL team since he possesses all the vital ingredients of a devastating T20 batsman. He will be on the radar should any of the franchises starting hunting for an ideal replacement for an injured batter.
