#3 Cameron Delport

Kolkata Knight Riders selected Cameron Delport in the 2018 IPL auction. However, they were not able to accommodate him in the playing XI for that season. Thus, the management released Delport ahead of the following season.

With a base price of just 30.00 lakh INR, Delport failed to find a buyer in the 2019 auction. The scenario could be different this time. The South African batter looks like a million bucks after his impressive stint with Essex in the 2019 Vitality Blast.

With 409 runs in 14 matches, Delport made a significant contribution to the series-winning campaign of Essex Eagles. The southpaw's 49-ball 129 with a strike of 263.27 against Surrey was the highest individual score of the tournament.

In the English summer, Delport's strike rate against spin was a whopping 193.7. Equally immense was his strike rate (161.2) against pace. No wonder he received a contract in the 2019 Hundred Draft. An IPL contract could be in store for him too.
