#5 Rajasthan Royals: Ashton Turner
One of the stars for the Australian team in the recently concluded ODI series against India will be making his debut in IPL this season for Rajasthan Royals. RR is known for finding talents all over the world and use them to their full potential. So, when they picked Turner in this year's auction almost everyone knew that this player has some potential.
Besides his heroics in the ODI series, he is a well-known player in the domestic circuit courtesy of his exploits in Big Bash League as a part of Perth Scorchers team.
With Steven Smith, Jos Butler, Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer being available for this season, Turner will have to wait for the chance to come his way.
But when the opportunity knocks his door, he is certain to grab it with both hands and make a solid statement.
#6 Kolkata Knight Riders: Anrich Nortje
Latest sensation from South African cricket - Anrich Nortje is better known for his swing, pace and bounce. His exploits in the Mzansi Super league not only earned him an international call up but also ensured that he is picked by the KKR team for this year's mega T20 league.
Being dented by the loss of some key pacers, KKR will certainly look out for Anrich Nortje to provide them some early breakthroughs at the top and a tight spell down the order. The fact that he was considered by South Africa over Steyn goes on to show his ability with the white ball.
But when it comes to KKR side, he will have to fight for his spot against two other players - Carlos Brathwaite and Harry Gurney. While Brathwaite gives an extra batting option, Gurney's left arm pace is likely to bolster his chances too.
