He failed to make it to the national side despite some good performances, but with the mega auction coming up, he could find a better venue. All he has to do now is score runs on a regular basis.

In 20 T20I matches, he’s scored 588 runs. His propensity to score runs quickly is demonstrated by his 147 strike rate. Aside from that, he's also a fantastic fielder. After PBKS didn’t retain him, he might find another home soon.

Despite being in the domestic circle for 8 years, he’s never gone beyond Mumbai Indians’ dressing room. He has scored 174 runs at a strike rate of over 200 in the SMAT & Mega Auction could be his ticket to success.

Bought by SRH in 2020, he is known for scoring 1477 runs in 50 T20s and had a strike rate of 151 during SMAT. He can be a great opener for any team in the league.

The best SA batter during the T20 World Cup 2021, he surely put himself on the tactical board of a lot of franchisees in the league and can earn big money during the Mega Auction.

He has bowled with an economy rate of 7.74 in the IPL. A leg spinner's wicket count of 21 in 14 games is never poor. With new teams on the horizon, he will be sold at a fair or extraordinary price.

The Black Cap’s 72-run T20 World Cup semi-final winning performance against England shows that he is ready to earn that sweet sweet IPL contract everyone has been raving about.

One of the most improved cricketers since last year, Livingstone earned a mere Rs 50 lakh contact by RR before IPL 2021. His destructive batting will surely earn a lot during the mega auction.

James Neesham View this post on Instagram

Jimmy always remains an undervalued player especially for the kind of talent he brings to the table with the ball and the bat. His Rs. 75 lakh contact with MI feels like a cheap joke right now.
