Batsmen who can fetch big amount of money in IPL 2021 mini auctions


The IPL 2021 mini auctions are scheduled to take place on February 18. The franchises have released few players and will be looking to fulfil the void. Here’s a list of batsmen who can leave an impact and can fetch good amount of money in the auctions.


Steve Smith

Former Australia captain Steve Smith was released by Rajasthan Royals earlier. Smith has been a part of franchises like Pune Warriors India, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, RCB and Rising Pune Supergiant in the past editions. RR’s ex-captain has played a total of 95 matches and scored 2333 runs at an average of 35. He was released by Rajasthan Royals earlier and might fetch some big amount when he goes under the hammer. 


Alex Carey

The wicket-keeps batsman Alex Carey can be a fruitful pick as he can be as an opener too. The left-handed batsman had a brief stay at the Delhi Capitals camp before he was released. He has been in some good form recently in the BBL 10 scoring 425 runs in 13 matches for Adelaide Strikers. 


Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell is probably one of the finest stroke-makers in white-ball cricket. But his dismal run in the IPL 2020 for KXIP forced the franchise to release him. Maxwell only scored 108 runs after being capped 13 times while only picked up three wickets. But his vast experience in the shortest format can compel some franchises to pick the Australian in the side. He has played a total of 301 T20s so far scoring over 6000 runs at a strike-rate of 152.05. 


Alex Hales

England batsman Alex Hales has been in some prime form with the bat in the BBL 10. Hales has notched up a total of 543 runs in 15 matches at a strike-rate of 161.60. Known for his hard-hitting abilities, Hales can fill up the void for any team. He has been a part of the Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad camp. He in fact played 6 matches for SRH in the 2018 edition. He scored 148 runs during the course. 


Marnus Labuschagne

Australia’s new found talent Marnus Labuschagne has made a good name for himself in a short period of time. While he has unfolded some fine knocks in Test cricket while has been impressive in the BBL 10 while playing for Brisbane Heat. He scored 161 runs in 5 matches for the Heat. 

Labuschagne’s prolific batting and handy bowling can create some useful prospects for the teams.

Bangladesh tour of New Zealand postponed by a week

The upcoming Bangladesh tour of New Zealand has been postponed by a week owing to the impending coronavirus challenges and in order to allow the visiting team adequate time to settle in before the start of the 3 match ODI and T20I series which was stated by the New Zealand Cricket Board. Under the revised schedule Bangladesh will now go head to head against New Zealand in 3 ODI’s and as many T20I’s between March 20 and April 1. New Zealand Cricket stood by their decision and said that the changes in the schedule were made due to the current COVID-19 situation as they felt the need to allow the visiting sides more time to get acclimatized to international commitments. "To accommodate the necessary logistics, the Bangladesh tour will now begin seven days later than initially scheduled, following a five-day training camp at Queenstown, with matches to be played at the venues first planned, but on different dates," the NZC was quoted as saying in a statement. This will be the very first time that Bangladesh will be travelling to New Zealand since their dreaded tour in 2019 was cut short due to a shooting attack on a mosque which the players survived by a whisker before the scheduled start of the 3rd Test at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. Coming back to the upcoming tour, Bangladesh will play the opening ODI at the University Oval in Dunedin following their completion of a 5-day training camp in Queenstown. Meanwhile, New Zealand Cricket also made changes in the upcoming schedule of Australia’s women’s tour of New Zealand. "Additionally, with Bangladesh remaining in New Zealand longer than originally scheduled, NZC has taken the opportunity to play the three WHITE FERNS v Australia women's T20s as double-headers alongside the BLACKCAPS v Bangladesh T20s -- at Seddon Park, McLean Park, and Eden Park, respectively,’ the statement added.

Wasim Jaffer feels India should start afresh against England

Former India Test opener and a legend of Indian domestic cricket, Wasim Jaffer is of the opinion that India should start afresh for the four-Test match series against England and no0t rest on their laurels. India scripted history when they won the series against Australia not long ago. However, Jaffer believes that despite such a big win, they should put that behind them and look for what’s at stake in the upcoming series. This will be a huge series for both teams as the qualification for the ICC Test Championship final is up for grabs. India is currently leading the Test Championship chart but a series loss to England will wipe away their chances of contesting in the final against New Zealand. During an exclusive interview with Times of India, Jaffer said, "India will be pumped up. It's a new series. India has to forget what happened in Australia, they need to start afresh against England. “ ‘The win in Australia was a huge shot in the arm for the Indian team. Not only did they humble the Australians with a severely depleted squad, they did it in foreign conditions. Now, back on home territory, the game plans will need to change. India has a clear edge over England in head to head in Test matches in India. However, England has always given India a tough fight and they remain the last team who defeated India in a Test series at home back in 2012-13. India thrashed England 4-0 when the two teams last met in India. So there is no doubt about the fact that India will start as outright favourites. "Obviously, India holds an advantage because they are playing at home. But you can't take anything for granted. Whatever happened in Australia, you need to leave that behind, take that confidence and start afresh," Jaffer said. One of the biggest takeaways from the India-Australia series was the performance of the youngsters. A relatively 2nd string Indian side defeated Australia in the final Test with no experience at all, especially in the bowling department. "I never imagined someone like Washington Sundar will play such a big role (in Australia). Someone like Shardul who didn't have a memorable Test debut a few years back will impress this much. He got injured and had to leave the field. It never looked like he will play a Test match so soon. But the kind of comeback he made and the performance he showed, was just amazing. Before the IPL, who knew there will be a T Natarajan who will be making debuts in all formats and that too in one series. They all performed with flying colours. It was an amazing display by these youngsters," Jaffer told TimesofIndia.com. "I am sure these people will perform really well against England (too)," Jaffer concluded.
