IPL 2018, RCB vs KXIP: 5 players to watch out for

Karun Nair

A local boy who has molded and learned his game in the Chinnaswamy stadium, Karun Nair has made rapid progress ever since. He was impressive for other franchises with his elegance and grace at the top of the order.

It was pleasing to see KXIP bid for three Karnataka batsmen Karun Nair, Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul to form their batting lineup for this season. Three talented, aggressive batsmen who can go on to dominate this IPL if they get going.

All of them will be returning to their home, Bengaluru and will look at making RCB pay for not picking them in the auctions. They know the conditions very well and will give KXIP the advantage especially the likes of Karun Nair and KL Rahul who are coming off flying starts to this IPL.
