KL Rahul(C) (Punjab Kings)

The Punjab Kings captain has been the best player for his team. He scored 331 runs from 7 matches before he was forced to pull out of the tournament. Punjab Kings have a frail middle order and therefore he was forced to play cautiously quite often.

He played many match-winning knocks for his team and that kept Punjab in the hunt for the playoffs. They looked like a completely different team without him. He has a BASRA (Batting average+strike rate) of 202.41 which happens to be better than Shikhar Dhawan. KL Rahul was certainly having a great tournament.

He will also be captaining this team. Even though Punjab weren’t cruising per see but KL Rahul has been a responsible captain.
