Players to watch out


Cricket is an unpredictable game and so are its players. No one knows who will shine and who will fizzle out. Stars for whom the franchisees paid big bucks are often known to fizzle out, while lesser and unknown ones have shone. Last year, Ravinder Jadeja – the highest paid and upcoming player broke the jinx by showing superb girt. This logic for going for unknown players seems to have worked for this year the franchisee seemed to have bid considerably for players like Glen Maxwell (who went for $1 million to Mumbai Indians), Ajantha Mendis, Abhishek Nayyar and Kane Richardson (to Pune) at the expenses of existing stars like Ricky Pointing, Michel Clarke, and Nathan McCullum. How well they perform needs to be seen though cricket fans, following the end of the IPL auction are now waiting abated to see the likes of Tendulkar and Ponting play together for the same team.
