IPL Auction 2020: 3 released players who impressed in Abu Dhabi T10 League 

#1 Ben Cutting

Ben Cutting can be the 'X-factor' for any IPL franchise

Matches - 9, Runs - 91, Wickets - 3, Highest Score - 43*, Best Figures - 2/9

The Australian all-rounder, Ben Cutting, has been a match-winner in the shortest format of the game. Though he has achieved little success in the international arena, Cutting is a big name in franchise cricket. He has featured in all the major T20 leagues on the planet and the Indian fans may best remember him for his whirlwind knock in the IPL final of 2016.

He played for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2019; however, the defending champions did away with him before the auction. Since the Brisbane-born player can contribute well in both departments, he would be on the wish-list of the franchises.

His T10 League numbers would motivate more teams to go after him because the all-rounder averaged 91.00 with the bat in this tourney. He got out only once while he even took three wickets with the ball. Playing for the Deccan Gladiators, the 32-year-old entertained the fans in Abu Dhabi with his big hitting as he scored 6 fours and 6 maximums in the 6 innings he played. It will be interesting to see which franchise signs him on 19 December.
