Rajasthan Royals - K Gowtham

When Rajasthan Royals splashed the cash on Krishnappa Gowtham in the 2018 IPL auction, everyone was surprised as he didn't even play a single match in the tournament in the past ten seasons.
The moment he made his debut in the 2018 IPL, he showed everyone why he was so expensive at the auction as he surprised everyone with his contributions with both bat and ball. Though he didn't get enough chances to prove himself with the bat, his innings against Mumbai Indians, in which he scored an unbeaten 33 off 11 balls and even smashed Jasprit Bumrah out of the park on a consistent basis.
With the ball, he is RR's second-best bowler after Jofra Archer as he has scalped 8 wickets in 10 matches at an average of 26 and economy of just over 7, numbers that are good for a spinner who bowls a lot inside the power play.
