IPL 2019: One rising Indian star from each team

# 6 Krishnappa Gowtham - Rajasthan Royals

Krishnappa Gowtham

Krishnappa Gowtham is a handy allrounder, who has produced numerous match-winning performances for Karnataka in various domestic cricket matches. In last year's IPL, his finishing skills were on full display when he took Rajasthan Royals to victory on many occasions. His Strike Rate of 196.87 in IPL 2019 was among the highest in the season. His explosive batting along with his proficient spin bowling skill set makes him an important utility player for the team.

With India having a good crop of spin bowling all-rounders like Ravindra Jadeja, Krunal Pandya, Washington Sundar, and Axar Patel, the road to the Indian team is anything but a cakewalk for Gowtham. He will have to show his talent consistently to make a case. With Rajasthan Royals expected to rely on Gowtham once again in IPL 2019 for his finishing skills, one can expect fireworks from him.
