South Africa v India - T20 International
Junior Dala

Before India's three-match T20I series against South Africa earlier this year, Junior Dala was just another promising fast bowler in the South African domestic circuit. But, that series was the turning point in his career as he put in some impressive performances with the ball.

In the three matches he played, he accounted for seven wickets at an average of 15.7. He took a particular liking to Rohit Sharma, as he dismissed the Indian opener in all three matches of the series. He was also one of the main reasons why the Proteas managed to win the second T20I in Johannesburg.

He was unsold in the 2018 IPL auction and getting him in as a replacement for the Aussie pacer Starc will give Kolkata Knight Riders a big boost going into the tournament.
