2. Irfan Pathan:
Irfan Pathan once can look forward to a chance to feature in this year’s IPL. The franchise snubbed him entirely when his name came up in the auctions. After an injury-filled past couple of seasons, all of his hopes were dashed on the auction day. However, with the ex-franchise can try to get him in the squad again after the departure of Marsh. He may be underused in the past season but chances can come in plenty this time around if Steve Smith shows a need for an experienced seam bowling all-rounder.
