3. Pat Cummins
KKR spent 1/3rd of their wallet in the IPL auction on star Aussie pacer Pat Cummins. Cummins was sold to KKR at a winning bid of 15.50 which has now made him the most expensive international player to feature in the IPL.
The KKR management wanted quality and dependable international speedster in their bowling attack after IPL 2019. The franchise went all out for Cummins and finally acquired his service for an incredible amount.
The 27-year-old is a match-winner in all formats of the game that can quickly adjust and bowling accordingly to the surfaces. The Aussie will be the leader of KKR’s bowling attack in the IPL in UAE and will be looking to stamp his authority in the most anticipated season of the league.
All eyes will be glued on the television when Cummins takes the ball in his hand from next month. Cummins has so far only played 16 IPL fixtures and has picked 17 wickets at an economy rate of 8.29.
