In 2016, Mustafizur Rahman became the first overseas player to become the Emerging Player of the Season. In 2019, Kings XI Punjab's Mujeeb Ur Rahman can become the second overseas player to achieve the feat.

Rahman had a sensational start to his IPL career last year where he bamboozled some big names of World cricket. The young Afghan was given the tough task of bowling with the new ball, something that he did for his national side too.

Mujeeb performed exceedingly well for the Kings as he picked up 14 wickets in 11 matches while being extremely economical giving away runs at less than 7 runs per over. The 17-year-old was Ravichandran Ashwin's go-to man throughout the season. If Mujeeb can continue his golden run in the IPL in 2019 as well, he can be in contention of winning the Emerging Player of the Season award.
