Bowlers who could impress in the 9th edition of IPL
Bowlers who could impress in the 9th edition of IPL
1/5
The excited Australian leggie is part of MS Dhoni-led new franchise Rising Pune Supergiants. He had an impressive ICC World Twenty20 in India, where he picked five wickets in four games and remained economical in almost all matches. If he manages to win the skippers trust early on in the tourney, then he could easily get a chance to get a lot of exposure from the League.

Age is no bar for this Australian cricketer. Even at 45, he can give any youngster a run for his money. With age comes experience and he has ample of tricks up his sleeves to fox any world-class batsman in the world. For Kolkata Knight Riders he is not a liability but an asset. With having a rich experience of playing in the shortest format, he also helps skipper Gautam Gambhir to take a difficult decision on the filed, wherever required.

The young Gujarat bowler has been impressive since his international debut. Playing under his mentor Lasith Malinga for Mumbai Indians has changed his life. He has learnt a lot of tricks from the slinger, which has made him a deadly bowler. His ability to bowl yorkers and slower ones with good effect makes him a deadly bowler in the slam-bang version of the game. This IPL season will again help him to get more mature as a bowler. And who knows, he might learn few more tricks from veteran Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga.

Somewhere deep indside, the ageing Indian bowler will always remain thankful towards IPL as this was the platform which gave him a chance to make a comeback in the national team after almost five long years. But this time he would not be playing under the captaincy of Dhoni. So, it remains to be seen how the 36-year-old will perform under his new franchise (Sunrisers Hyderabad).
