#3 KL Rahul

The Karnataka batsman is a regular in the Indian Test side but cools his heels against the white ball. This season he is batting to drive home a message that he belongs to all the three formats.
His strokeplay for the Kings XI Punjab has been majestic and he looks to be in the groove. What makes this season promising for him is that he has looked to play genuine cricketing strokes and has not gone searching for too many cheeky dabs and sweeps.
Rahul has already scored the fastest IPL 50 and looks all set to go big this season.
In four matches, he has scored 153 runs at an average of 38 and with a strike rate 171.
