And here comes the next big thing in Indian cricket, the classy, consistent and one of the most stylish batsman, KL Rahul. He has the ability to play 360 degrees using nothing extraordinary but just the textbook shots.

The 26-year-old was struggling to find a place in the eleven since 2013 but eventually got the first consistent shot in 2016 for Royal Challengers Bangalore where he was mediocre, scoring 397 runs.

But after joining Kings XI Punjab, the Karnataka batsman turned the tables upside down and finished as the third highest run-getter in the season with 659 runs. He smashed the fastest IPL 50 in the process.
