Ishan Porel (Kings XI Punjab):
Taken in by the KXIP for the base price of INR 20 Lakhs, the Bengal pacer Ishan Porel will play a vital role for the franchise in the upcoming IPL 2020. With Ravichandran Ashwin traded off in the tradings held ahead of the auctions for the coming edition of the league, the Punjab-based franchise will need a strong bowling squad.
The 21-year-old Bengal Tiger has enough experience in the shorter version of the game. In the 14 T20 games, he had picked up 16 wickets in the domestic events he took part in.
Ishan first came into news for his spellbinding four-wickets against Pakistan in the semifinals of the U-19 Cricket World Cup in 2018. The right-handed pacer has been a consistent wicket-taker in the domestic circuit and is expected to continue his brilliance in the upcoming IPL edition as well.
