IPL 2019: 5 players who can win the 'Emerging Player of the Year' award

2. Prasidh Krishna

Prasidh Krishna replaced injured Kamle

Prasidh Krishna is one of the underdogs to win this award. Last year he was included in the Kolkata Knight Riders squad midway in the tournament due to the injury to Kamlesh Nagarkoti.

He was very impressive last year for the Kolkata Knight Riders team. He played 7 matches and was able to pick up 10 wickets. He proved to be a good death bowler for the Kolkata Knight Riders team. He plays for Karnataka in the domestic circuit and is quite consistent for them.

This time around with injuries to both Shivam Mavi and Kamlesh Nagarkoti, he has the chance to play the whole IPL season for the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise. Prasidh Krishna has the ability to become the emerging player of the season. Everyone should have an eye on him, he has impressed many with his abilities in the domestic season and might be just ready to take his game to the next level.
