#3 Shardul Thakur
Shardul Thakur, the pacer from Maharashtra was one of the most under-utilized cricketers in the IPL before he was acquired by Chennai Super Kings in this season. The pacer's first glimpse of outstanding talent came to light when he scalped 8 wickets in the Ranji Trophy final of the 2015 edition. He also earned an IPL contract with Kings XI Punjab due to the same.
Trending
The wicket-taking bowler can with-hold the batsman by hitting the deck consistently and also by bowling steep bouncers. He has the ability to swing the ball both ways while bowling short balls.
He has taken 15 wickets from 12 games so far at an economy of 9.16. His knock of 15* runs from 5 balls played a crucial role in Chennai's qualification to the finals.
With the form he is in right now, he would definitely be a loss for Kings XI Punjab.
