IPL 2019: 8 Rising stars who can be the X-factor for their teams

#4 Abhishek Sharma (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek Sharma is a destructive left-hand batsman and a decent left-arm spinner. The teenager came into the limelight for the first time when he led India U19 to the Youth Asia Cup title in 2016. He was also the part of the India U19 World Cup-winning team in 2018.

He played for Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) last season and gave us a preview of his talent when he smashed 46 runs off just 19 balls in his debut match against RCB. But this IPL season, he will be playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

#3 Jason Behrendorff (Mumbai Indians)

Jason Behrendorff

The tall left-arm Aussie pacer, Jason Behredroff, is someone who bowls with good speed and has the potential to swing the ball both ways. His performance in the last few months have been quite good and he recently made his ODI debut for Australia.

Jason Behrendroff's T20 record is quite impressive as he has taken 67 wickets from 54 matches at an impressive average of 20.41 and a decent economy rate of 7.11 with 4/21 being his best. The 29-year-old missed the 2018 IPL because of an injury but he is set to play for Mumbai Indians in the current edition.
