IPL 2018: One find from each eliminated team

#3 Ankit Rajpoot (Kings XI Punjab)

Ankit Rajpoot had his best IPL campaign this year

Unlike Khejroliya who made his IPL debut this year, Ankit Rajpoot has been in the circuit for quite some time now. The 24-year-old pacer from Kanpur has been a part of Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders in the past but never really got adequate opportunities to showcase his immense talent.

KXIP skipper Ravichandran Ashwin had faith in him and Rajpoot did not let him down. In 8 games, he picked up 11 wickets, whereas he had previously scalped only 8 wickets in three IPL campaigns before this season. He grabbed limelight when he picked up 5 wickets against a formidable Sunrisers Hyderabad side by conceding just 14 runs.
