Joe Root should ideally make his IPL debut this season

Joe Root is undoubtedly one of the best batsmen in the world right now. Stunningly, Root is yet to feature in the Indian Premier League.

He is the 2nd best Test batsman, 7th best ODI batsman and 9th best T20 batsman in the world as per the latest ICC rankings. He is a part-time off-spinner too, and is more than useful with the ball. Additionally, he has been the captain of the English Test team for almost a year now.

A player of his quality should find his way into any team. The teams without a captain could turn to Root for not only his captaining abilities but also his batting prowess.
