#2 KL Rahul
Lokesh Rahul is one of the exciting young players in world cricket at the moment. The Karnataka batsman has been in stunning form in T20 cricket with scores of 84*, 95*, 66, 21, 94, 7, 54, 70, and 101* in his last nine innings for Kings XI Punjab and Team India.
He played a stunning knock against England at the Old Trafford on Tuesday when he single-handedly chased the target of 160. He ended up with 101* runs, which included 10 fours and five huge sixes.
Rahul is touted to be the future of Indian cricket. Though he made his mark only in first-class cricket as a youngster, he soon adjusted to the demands of T20 cricket. He has shown us in the last few months that no boundary in the world is big enough for him.
