#4 Nitish Rana (Kolkata Knight Riders)

The middle-order batsman, Nitish Rana, was the find of the league in 2017 when he played for Mumbai Indians. His aggressive traits make him an ideal batsman at the No.4 spot, as he backs his ability to clear the ground with utter ease.

His decent run in IPL-10 bagged him a hefty 3.40 Cr deal with the Kolkata Knight Riders. Thus, KKR would be expecting a great deal from him in the 11th edition of IPL.
