4. Vijay Shankar

The seam-bowling all-rounder will have a huge role to play with the bat and the ball. Vijay Shankar became the first Indian bowler to take a wicket of the first ball he bowled in the world cup. Vijay Shankar is also someone who can give a brilliant contribution with the bat.
Shankar had a disappointing season last year for the SRH, where he could only manage 244 runs in 15 matches at an average of 20.33 and a strike-rate of 126.42. With the ball too, the Tamil Nadu all-rounder could manage just 1 wicket at an average of 70.
He would look to change his faith in this IPL as he would look to contribute well with both bat and ball.
