Mujeeb ur Rahman

After Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan ran riot in the 2017 IPL, his teammate Mujeeb ur Rahman is out to emulate him in the ongoing edition of the IPL. Not many expected the off-spinner to make it to the Kings XI's playing XI as they already had the likes of skipper R Ashwin and all-rounder Axar Patel in their ranks.

But, the team management backed him and gave him the go-ahead right from the first match of the season and the youngster didn't disappoint, repaying the faith his skipper and coach had in him.

The 17-year-old has taken 14 wickets in 11 games at an average of just over 20 and an economy of 7. The opposition batsmen are finding it difficult to pick him which was very evident from the way he castled Virat Kohli when both the teams played in Bengaluru.
