IPL 2020: 3 Bangladesh players who could attract bids at the auction

#3 Mohammad Naim

The 20-year-old left-handed opener was the find for Bangladesh in the T20 series against India. Naim made his debut against India at Delhi and in three matches he scored 143 runs at a strike rate of 133.64 and an impressive average of 47.67.

Naim's innings at Nagpur was the highlight of his series. He initially takes time to settle down but once he gets his eye in, he can be a destructive batsman. In Nagpur, he scored 81 off 48 balls with 10 boundaries and 2 sixes and almost single-handedly won the game for Bangladesh.

Rajasthan Royals are on the lookout for a top order batsman who can be available for the entire IPL season. With the likes of Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler likely to be unavailable for the entire season due to international duties, the management may look to rope in the young Naim.

Another team which may show keen interest in Naim is Chennai Super Kings. The Men in Yellow might want a replacement for Faf du Plessis, who is not in the best touch right now. Naim could be the perfect opening partner for Shane Watson, and accumulate tall scores at the top of the order.
