#2 Mujeeb Zadran (Afghanistan)
Ad

Bought by Kings XI Punjab, the sixteen-year-old spinner becomes the third player from Afghanistan after Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan to play in the IPL. He would want to follow in the footsteps of his countrymen in carving out a niche for himself on the big stage.
Picking up 20 wickets in just five matches, Zadran guided his country to their maiden ACC Under-19 Cup title. He would love to continue bamboozling batsmen with his off-breaks in the IPL as well and help Punjab secure their first IPL triumph.
