IPL Auction 2017: 5 players Gujarat Lions will look to buy

An IPL veteran, Pathan’s trade still holds relevance in the shortest format

Kagiso Rabada

Rabada has been a revelation since making his debut in 2015

The youngster has impressed one and all with his control over the old ball in the death bowlers, one which had even MS Dhoni befuddled in 2015. Since then, he has been in prime form, and might offer something different from the gentle pace of Dhawal Kulkarni and Praveen Kumar, their new ball bowlers last year.

The base price of 1 crore might be the only thing that might stop the Lions from going for him wholeheartedly, but the 21-year old, who hasn’t yet played an IPL match, has an economy of 7.49 from 30 T20 games, which is going to be hard to ignore.
