2. Punjab Kings: KL Rahul
KL Rahul was the orange cap winner in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. He played 14 games and scored 670 runs at an average of 55.38 runs.
While his team struggled in the India leg of IPL 2021, KL Rahul’s batting was unruffled. The opening batsman scored 331 runs in 7 games including a 91* against Royal Challengers Bangalore at Ahmedabad.
KL Rahul has the added responsibility of leading his side, but as we have witnessed it in IPL 2020, it only brings the best out of him as a batsman. The Punjab Kings are placed at position 6 in the points table and will want that their skipper to continue his domination in the UAE for the franchise to stand any chance of qualifying for the knockouts.
