3. Jalaj Saxena:
The Kerala all-rounder Jalaj Saxena has been a part of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC). But unfortunately, he could not get a chance to showcase his talent in the cash-rich league.
In the IPL 2019 auction, Capitals bought Saxena for 20 lakh rupees but without giving a chance to him, he was released by the franchise ahead of the IPL 2020 auction.
In IPL 2020 auction, no franchise showed any interest in buying him and he remained unsold with a base price of 20 lakhs. Although Jalaj is consistently doing well in the domestic fold. As of now, in the ongoing Ranji Trophy, the 33-year-old has picked 34 wickets, including four five-wicket hauls in six matches played. Thus, he can be an apt replacement for Hardik in Indians squad.
