New Zealand produces some of the best cricketers in the world, and their spirit of the game is always at the top. With Indian T20 League mega auctions just around the corner, teams would have their eyes set on the New Zealanders. They have been great contributors to the legacy of the tournament, and some of these players might earn big amounts in the upcoming auctions. Here is a list of players that can make it big in the mega auctions:
Trent Boult
Trent Boult, after not being able to find a place in Mumbai's retention list, will be up for grabs in the mega auctions. He was a crucial part of the team and was very useful in the powerplays. The 32-year old is in his prime and has been among the top bowlers across the world for some time now.
Any team would look to buy him in the auctions, but teams like Delhi and Mumbai can look to buy him. He was a good servant for Mumbai, and they would want him back on their side. Delhi would look to pair him up with Anrich Nortje. Trent Boult's base price for the auction is INR 2 crores.
Devon Conway
Devon Conway impressed everyone on his debut in all formats. He scored a double hundred at Lords in his first Test match and was exceptional in his first T20 series against Australia. He is a flexible player. While he is best at the top of the order, he can also bat in the middle. Teams that need a stable opener will look to buy him in the auctions, as he can play long innings and explode at the time of need. Hyderabad can bid for him as the potential replacement to Jonny Bairstow. Devon Conway's base price for the auction is INR 1 crore.
Glenn Philips
Glenn Philips is an exciting prospect for the New Zealand side. He is the kind of player who can give you a variety of options. He can bat, he can keep wickets, and he can bowl as well. Phillips always wishes to be in the game and do as much as he can for the team. We saw some glimpses of him in the last season, but this season he can explode. Teams like Rajasthan can look to buy him back or the two new teams can buy him as a good all-rounder option. Glenn Philips' base price in the auctions is INR 1.5 crore.
Daryl Mitchell
Daryl Mitchell has become an even better player since he started opening for the New Zealand team. He is a genuine all-rounder who can complete his quota with the ball. His score of 72 from 47 balls in the semi-finals of the recent 20-20 World Cup against Pakistan was the main reason New Zealand was able to reach the finals.
Teams always need a genuine all-rounder, and a fast bowling all-rounder is a rare commodity. Teams like Bangalore who needs firepower at the start can look to buy him in the auctions. Daryl Mitchell's base price in the auctions is INR 50 lakhs
Finn Allen
Only a few matches old, Finn Allen has begun to generate a lot of hype. Allen plays with a high strike rate in the top order. He was picked by Bangalore last year but he made himself unavailable for the UAE leg. Teams that require a player who can keep as well will look to buy him. Rajasthan or Punjab can go for him in the auctions.
