#2 KL Rahul

KL Rahul missed IPL last year due to an injury, and the year before that, he scored 71 runs from 8 games for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. This year, he was released by the franchise and picked by the Kings XI Punjab for Rs. 11 crore.
Not many thought it wise to spend such a huge amount on the Karnataka batsman, who is often seen as a Test specialist. However, for his new team, the opener has already piled up 153 runs from four games at a strike rate of almost 172! Never before has Rahul played this brilliantly in the IPL, and perhaps RCB, who are once again struggling in the tournament, would be missing his services.
