IPL 2017: 5 cricketers who surprised us with their performances this season

#2 Pawan Negi

Negi was RCB’s best player this season

He was one of the biggest buys of the 2016 auction having been picked up by the Delhi Daredevils for Rs. 8.5 crores. However, he failed miserably as he hardly featured in the playing XI and picked up only one wicket and did not impress with the bat as well.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore took a risk and bagged him up for Rs. 1 crore for the 2017 season and the decision paid dividends. He was one of the only positives from the disastrous RCB campaign this year.

He featured in 12 out of the 14 games for RCB and picked up 16 wickets thus being the most successful bowler for the franchise this season. He performed decently well with the bat too and put up a few worthy performances when the rest of the team failed.
