3 unsold players IPL franchises should be looking at as replacements

#1 Rilee Rossouw

Rilee Rossouw

In T20 cricket, especially in leagues, form is everything. We saw that last year, with the likes of D'arcy Short and Jofra Archer being in extremely high demand, and this year as well, with the likes of Colin Ingram commanding extremely high paychecks.

With that in mind, while Rilee Rossouw may have been out of favour with franchises two months ago, most of them will be looking at him extremely closely now. In the recently concluded Bangladesh Premier League, Rossouw topped the run-scoring charts, making 558 runs at an average of 69.75 and a strike rate of 150.

Further, in a batting line-up which consisted of some of the IPL's finest performers in Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers, he managed to outshine them. Another factor which works in Rossouw's favour is that, as a Kolpak player, he is ineligible for national selection and will thus certainly be available for the entirety of the tournament if called upon.
