2. Pat Cummins

The No.1 Test match bowler in the world, Pat Cummins will have to replicate his performance in the IPL this year. After all, the star fast bowler emerged as the most expensive buy in the IPL auction. Cummins was sold to Kolkata Knights Riders for a whopping price of Rs.15.50 crores making him the second-most expensive player in the league behind Virat Kohli.

The pacer will have to prove his worth through his performance for KKR in the UAE. All eyes will be on him and he will have to adapt quickly to the conditions and pick wickets at regular intervals. The 27-year-old has so far only played 16 IPL matches in which he has scalped 17 wickets.
