#2 Akshdeep Nath

Ad
Akshdeep Nath has previously played for the Gujarat Lions in the IPL

Team: Kings XI Punjab

Role: Right-hand middle-order batsman and part-time wicketkeeper

Recent Form: Like most people on this list, Akshdeep Nath has been in great form in the domestic season so far. In the Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he is currently captaining Uttar Pradesh, he has already made three 50+ scores, which were as follows: a match-winning 87 against Tripura, a 54 in vain against Delhi, and a magnificent 72-ball 103* against Bengal.

Additional Comments: One fun fact about Nath is that he used to be a part-time medium pacer before he decided to try wicket-keeping. He has been bowling yet again in the Vijay Hazare Trophy this year. In a Kings XI Punjab side lacking a full-time wicketkeeper, Nath may get anywhere between close to no games to every game depending on whether KL Rahul keeps the wickets or not.
