#3 Kings XI Punjab - Mayank Agarwal

Mayank Agarwal can exhibit his true potential in IPL this season. After making his debut for India, the Karnataka batsman will be oozing in confidence. He endured a disastrous 2018 IPL season as he was asked to play in his non-familiar position (one-down slot). He scored just 120 runs from his 11 games last season.

With KL Rahul not in good form and Chris Gayle not at his usual best, Mayank may be asked to open the innings this time. His ability to score big scores at the top of the order makes him an ideal candidate to be the leading run scorer for Kings XI Punjab.

#4 Sunrisers Hyderabad - David Warner

David Warner and Chris Gayle are the only two cricketers who have won the Orange cap twice in the IPL history. Warner won the Orange Cap in 2015 and 2017 by scoring 562 runs and 641 respectively.

He was banned from playing IPL 2018 after getting caught in the sandpaper gate scandal. The Australian opener will make a comeback this season and will be looking to showcase his potential right from the word go.

The left-handed will use the IPL platform to get match fit for the all-important ICC cricket World Cup. He has a lot to prove this time as he will make a comeback at the grand circuit after a year's absence.
