4. Rohit Sharma

When we talk about the top 5 players to watch out for its very hard to ignore a quality batsman like Rohit Sharma. The hitman has been a phenomenal captain for the Mumbai Indians franchise ever since from Ricky Ponting in 2013 and has four IPL titles for the Mumbai Indians franchise.

In this season, Rohit didn’t really have the greatest of starts but he managed to score a knock of 80 runs in the game against Kolkata Knight Riders. Furthermore, he was extremely unlucky in that match against RCB, where he got caught at the long boundary. But overall we should expect big innings from the Hitman very soon as the season progresses.
