The Big Bash 2021-22 could not have been scheduled at a better time. Players participating in the league will be keen to make a big impression. If they put in remarkable performances in the BBL, it might help them land a great offer in the IPL mega auctions.
Players like Jofra Archer made a splash in the BBL first then went on to become hot properties in the IPL. This BBL will especially help the uncapped players to make a name for themselves. They could leverage this season to knock the big doors of IPL mega auctions.
We look at 5 uncapped BBL Players who could earn big in IPL Mega auctions:
#5 Alex Ross
Alex Ross is a hard-hitting middle-order batsman. He has featured in the BBL right since its 4th season. Ross has amassed 1324 runs in 71 games averaging a shade under 30. He is one of those modern-day batsmen who loves to innovate and is proactive at the crease. Ross can be a worthy middle-order backup for a star overseas player.
#4 Jake Weatherald
He is a crucial part of the Adelaide Strikers’ team. Weatherald has scored 1600 runs in 64 games. He had a breakthrough season last year. Weatherald smashed 433 runs at an average of 36.08. He almost always provides his team with quick-fire starts. Weatherald has experience playing in the PSL too. He knows how to tackle and take on spin. If given an opportunity, he could come up with pretty promising scores at the top.
#3 Josh Inglis
Josh Inglis was an able backup for Matthew Wade in the T20 World Cup 2021. Inglis has been in red hot form across formats. He had a terrific BBL last year wherein he scored 413 runs at an average of 34.42 in his 17 games. Inglis’ overall BBL strike rate is a stupendous 143. His biggest strength is his flexibility. He can bat anywhere right from top to the lower-order. Inglis for all his versatility may just end up winning big bids in the auction.
#2 Ben Dwarshuis
He has had a taste of the IPL but he has never got a chance to start in any team. Dwarshuis has been in sizzling form in the last couple of seasons. He is Sydney Sixers’ 2nd highest wicket-taker of all time. The speedster has 85 wickets in 69 games. Dwarshuis is a sharp left-arm pacer. The bowlers of his variety are few and far between. This aspect might help him draw huge bids in the mega auctions.
#1 Tanveer Sangha
Tanveer Sangha was an absolute revelation in the previous BBL edition. The 20-year old wrist-spinner spun a web around batsmen. He was the leading wicket-taker among the spinners in BBL 10. Sangha in fact was third in the list of highest wicket-takers for the season. He has played 16 BBL games and has bowled more than 100 dot balls. For a wicket-taking wrist-spinner, his stats are insane. Sangha can be great for the IPL. Teams who love fielding wrist-spinners will surely go for him.
