#4 Washington Sundar

18-year-old Washington Sundar came into IPL 2018 with a decent reputation. He had a successful debut season with Rising Pune Supergiants in 2017 before ending the Tamil Nadu Premier League as it's highest run-getter as well as second highest wicket-taker.
He was adjudged as the Man of the Series in the recently concluded Nidahas Trophy and was riding high on confidence.
Acquired by RCB for ₹4 crores, Sundar was expected to deliver the goods by his craftful off-spin bowling, most effective in the powerplay and also add muscle to their batting lower down the order.
However, this IPL has not quite gone the way he would have wished. With just four wickets in seven games at an average of 48 and an economy rate of 9.6, the Tamil Nadu offie has dented his chances of being picked for the forthcoming assignments with the Indian team.
More so, the fact that he has not been able to deliver what was expected of him under the captaincy of Indian skipper Kohli might not play well in his favour as the captain may have lost confidence in his young bowler.
Having said that, the teenager still has a long way to go and all of this will serve as a great learning curve.
