KL Rahul

KL Rahul, the Karnataka batsman is one of the most talented wicketkeeper-batsman in the country. On the back of impressive performances in T20 internationals, Rahul grabbed eyeballs of the IPL team owners who were left engaged in a bidding war in the auction this year.

Rahul was bought by Kings XI Punjab for a whopping Rs. 11 crore. In the season, he opened the batting for his team and provided headstarts in most of the matches. He was one of the most consistent batsmen in the tournament and proved his worth.

Overall in the season, he scored 659 runs in 14 matches at an average of 54.91 and a strike rate of 158.41. He ended up third on the list of highest runs scorers, but unfortunately, his team could not qualify for the playoffs.

He was named in all the squads for the tour of England. After enjoying a huge success in the IPL, he must be looking forward to cementing his place in the Indian team.

Rating: 9/10
