Glenn Maxwell (Mumbai Indians)
Maxwell, 24, is a batting
allrounder from Victoria who bowls offspin and is known for his
excellent fielding. In 40 Twenty20 matches, Maxwell averages 21.96 with
the bat and 30.20 with the ball. He first broke into the Australian
limited-overs side in August 2012 and since then has played nine ODIs
and Twenty20 internationals. The big question is: will Maxwell justify
his $1 million price tag?
Sachitra Senanayake (Kolkata Knight Riders)
The tall
27-year-old offspinner has played seven ODIs and two Twenty20s for Sri
Lanka, having earned an international debut in 2012 following a string
of successful performances on the domestic circuit. In the 2011-12
Premier Limited-Over tournament, Sri Lanka's main one-day competition,
he was the highest wicket-taker with 16 in six games at 11.18.
Senanayake last played an international in June 2012. KKR forked out
$625,000 for him.
Darren Sammy (Sunrisers Hyderabad)
Sammy,
who captained West Indies to the ICC World Twenty20 last September, was
bought for $425,000 by the latest IPL francise after previously never
being part of the tournament. As an allrounder, Sammy brings to
Sunrisers the experience of 40 Twenty20 internationals and 70 Twenty20
matches, from which he has taken a combined 104 wickets and scored 1698
runs. It remains to be seen how the franchise slots him into their
playing XI, given that they paid $675,000 for Sri Lankan allrounder
Thisara Perera.
