5) Nitish Rana
While all the focus was on the likes of Kieron Pollard and Jos Buttler, the left-handed Nitish Rana made the right noise by scoring runs on a consistent basis. The 24-year-old from Delhi made his debut in the 2016 IPL where he played four games, with a high score of 70.
However, it was in the next season that Rana became a regular in the Mumbai Indians setup. In the 13 innings that Rana played in the 2017 IPL, he scored 333 runs at an average of 30.27 which is more than good in one season of IPL.
At 20 lakhs, franchises would be crowding up to bag the Delhiite who in the last year has had a scintillating run in the league.
Teams who would look to get him: Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders
