IPL 2020: 5 players who could return to their former franchises

5. Eoin Morgan (RCB)

Eoin Morgan is yet another international star who hasn't quite managed to make a mark for himself on the IPL stage. The former Irish international, who has led the English to a maiden 50-over World Cup and the top 3 in the ICC international T20I rankings, retains his core strength of left-handed elegance with more than a decent serving of power and unorthodoxy to go with it.

Morgan's power-hitting prowess was on display not only during the World Cup earlier this year (most notably during his innings of 148* in just 71 balls with 17 sixes against Afghanistan) but also during England’s recently concluded T20I series in New Zealand where he finished as the second highest run-scorer with 192 runs at a strike rate of 192.9.

Morgan is another IPL journeyman with the experience of having been in four different IPL dressing rooms (RCB in 2010, KKR from 2011-2013, SRH in 2015 and 2016 and finally KXIP in 2017). He would be looking to rectify his below-par IPL statistics with a few important knocks, having been included in the Auction List at a base price of INR 1.5 crore.

His talents as a finisher at the death would be especially appreciated by his former franchise RCB, who seek to find players to take the pressure off their ever-reliable due of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers.
