IPL 2018: The debutants XI 

#6 Prashant Chopra (WK-Batsman)

Opened the batting for Himachal Pradesh in the T20 tournament

The Himachal Pradesh skipper, Prashant Chopra, was roped-in by Rajasthan Royals for ₹ 20 lacs in the wake of his successful Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

The 25-year-old was a part of 2012 U19 World cup winning Indian squad, on the back of which, he was picked by Himachal Pradesh and since then, became the backbone of their batting line-up. Furthermore, he is an occasional wicket-keeper too, that made his IPL prospects even more substantial.
