#5 Kedar Devdhar

Kedar Devdhar is in form of his life in 2018. He is the highest run scorer in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy tournament this year. The Baroda born wicket-keeper has scored 411 runs from eight T20 games. He has scored his runs at an impressive average and strike-rate of 58.71 and 137.00 respectively. Despite his impressive form, he couldn't find a taker in last years' IPL.
Devdhar continued his impressive run in the Vijay Hazare tournament. The right-handed batsman scored 401 runs from his seven List-A games at an extraordinary average of 57.8 runs per match. His runs included two massive centuries.
He extended his run in the third format too. In Ranji Trophy this season, Devdhar has scored 448 runs from his five games which include two centuries. In the recently concluded game against Saurashtra, the in-form batsman has scored 224 runs.
The IPL scouts would have spotted his special talent by now. It will not be a surprise if Kedar gets a five-fold hike in his salary this auction.
