#2 Rahul Dalal (Arunachal Pradesh)

The young Haryana-born lad shifted base and moved to represent Arunachal Pradesh in this year’s Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Dalal, who didn't get enough opportunities while playing for Haryana, was one of the star performers for Arunachal Pradesh in the VHT. Yhe middle-order batsman racked up 515 runs in just eight innings for his team.
Though he failed to convert any of his starts into a big ton, the 27-year-old was able to lend enough support to his team to register two wins in the competition.
A decent striker of the ball, Dalal made a case for himself with a strike rate nearing 100 along with a more than handy average of 85. After being sidelined at the domestic level all these years, his tryst with destiny might finally arrive at this year's IPL auction.
Dalal's performance with the bat will likely put him in contention; don't be surprised if one of the franchises targets him at the auction as a back-up in the middle-order.
