IPL 2017: 5 unsung heroes from the competition

3.Axar Patel

The Kings XI Punjab all-rounder, for whom the IPL proved to be the foundation for a maiden call-up to the Indian team in 2014, had yet another good year with both bat and ball for the franchise.

In the 14 matches that he played for the franchise, the Gujarat cricketer picked up 15 scalps at an acceptable economy of 7.54 and also contributed 224 runs at a strike-rate of 140.

Even as the 2014 runners-up failed to make it to the Playoff stage of the competition, Patel once proved to be a bright spot for the side and as a result of his consistency could earn himself a retention for next season as well.
