Price - INR 2.20 crore

IPL 2019 performance - Matches - 10, Runs - 445, Highest Score - 114

The player who had gone unsold in every IPL auction he participated in, Jonny Bairstow finally found his first IPL franchise in 2019 when Sunrisers Hyderabad bought him for a price of Rs. 2.20 crore. The Englishman won the hearts of the Hyderabadi fans by smashing 445 runs in the 10 games he played.

His opening partnership with David Warner established Sunrisers Hyderabad as the team with the best opening combination in the league.

Bairstow averaged over 50 in this year's IPL, and no one knows where Sunrisers Hyderabad would have ended up had Bairstow played the entire season. He finished in the top 10 of the Orange Cap leaderboard in spite of playing a mere 10 games in the season. That indicates how much of a value-for-money player Bairstow turned out to be.
