IPL 2016: Under-24 XI of the tournament

Mustafizur Rahman won the Best Emerging Player award in the IPL 2016

4. Nitish Rana – Mumbai Indians

Nitish Rana played a magnificent knock of 70 against Gujarat Lions

The 22-year-old Mumbai Indians batsman made 104 runs in the tournament and his knock of 70 against the Gujarat Lions in an all-important group league game caught the eyes of many.

The southpaw showed tremendous skills in that game as he unleashed some delightful cricket strokes. Nitish, who plays for Delhi in the domestic tournaments, hit 21 sixes - the most by any batsman in the tournament - in Delhi's run to the semi-final of the 2015-16 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Out of the 21 sixes, eight came in an innings of 97 off 40 balls against Andhra.

The left-hander can be a great option to have at number 4 because of his ability to hit big sixes.
