5. Mayank Agarwal

The Kings XI Punjab top-order batsman has been in some form this season. Just a few runs behind his captain placed second in the race for orange cap, Mayank Agarwal has been striking the ball very fluently and is a delight to watch when he performs.

With an extraordinary strike-rate of 161.18 for an opener, scoring a mammoth of 382 runs, he so far holds two half-centuries and century as well under his name in just eight innings. He single-handedly shifts away from the entire momentum from the opposition making him valuable and one to watch out for.
