#1 Axar Patel
Axar Patel has been one of the brightest prospects for the limited overs Indian cricket team from the Indian Premier League so far. After being signed by Kings XI Punjab in 2014, he picked up 14 wickets in his debut season.

Axar's accurate bowling reaped good benefits for his team in the last few seasons as they were able to win close games despite having a poor pace attack. And so, he was the only player who was retained by the Kings XI Punjab before the 2018 IPL Auction last year.
In 68 matches, Axar has picked up 61 wickets at an average of 28.93 and economy rate of 7.52. If the Mumbai Indians buy him in the auction, then it will lead to a healthy competition between Krunal Pandya and him for a place in the starting XI. Also, it will strengthen the spin department of the team which is lacking in quality Indian spinners.
