The T20I West Indies skipper will be a big miss given his all-round skills and experience. Sammy is familiar with the IPL and the current WT20 triumph would have seen him in a confdent mood.
2/5
Guptill is a solid entity in T20 cricket and has been a proven material for New Zealand over the years. His big hitting capabilities and superb fielding will be missed badly.
3/5
Veteran Tillakaratne Dilshan enjoyed some solid time in the past editions of the IPL and despite his age is still a solid player at the top for any side.
4/5
Australia's Usman Khawaja was a big surprise omission at the IPL auction given his superb form and proven attributes in the T20 format.
5/5
Known as a big match player, Marlon Samuels has been in some scintillating form of late and enjoyed a supreb run in the ICC World T20 2016.
