Being a part of the victorious India U-19 world cup squad, Riyan Parag was the last player to be picked in this year's auction. Hailing from a humble background in Assam, his stupendous performance with the bat and ball has caught attention all around the world.

His ability to withstand pressure situations goes beyond his age. A couple of sparkling innings against Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders has taken everyone to stand up and make note of this prodigious talent.

Parag has been unshackled by the occasion and he goes about his business with sheer confidence and audacity. He is definitely on the verge of lighting up the streets of Assam just like how MS Dhoni did it for Ranchi.

Matches: 7, Runs: 160, Highest: 50, Average: 32.00, Strike Rate: 126.98

#4 Mitchell Santner (Chennai Super Kings)

Missing out on IPL 2018 due to injury, Mitchell Santner was keen to make an impression in the star studded Chennai Super Kings team. The bowling all rounder made most of his limited opportunities count.

Santner will be remembered for his last ball six off Ben Stokes and his miserly spell against Mumbai Indians. If picked, he is expected to play a crucial in CSK's title defence.

Matches: 4, Wickets: 4, Average: 23.5, Economy Rate: 6.71
