IPL 2019: One Indian player each team should target in the Auction

#6 Kolkata Knight Riders - Mohammed Shami

Mohammed Shami

Mohammed Shami is one of the most established pacers in the current Indian setup. After bursting on to the scene with a five-for, his career has progressed reasonably well. He was leading the Indian bowling attack in the 2015 World Cup and was the second leading wicket taker with 17 scalps in 7 matches.

Though his IPL career has been a short one, it has not been much too cheer about. But with confidence and form on his side, he can to turn the tables around. KKR, who are in search of an experienced Indian pacer, would be quite interested to acquire Shami.

#5 Royal Challengers Bangalore - Axar Patel

Axar Patel

Axar Patel earned a national call-up after becoming the Emerging Player of the 2014 IPL edition. His all-round exploits led the Punjab franchise to their maiden IPL final but he couldn't take them over the line there.

Axar has performed well whenever he got a chance to represent his country at the highest level. He bowls with a splendid economy-rate of 7.5 in the IPL. The left-hander can also be a handy finisher for the Bangalore franchise who have blown hot and cold since the last two IPL editions.
