2. Dinesh Karthik
The Kolkata Knight Riders skipper had a patchy start as captain and player to the 2020 Indian Premier League. He started off by batting at three but couldn’t get the runs going. Then some of his captaincy decisions were also criticised, as he stuck with Sunil Narine as an opener despite consistently failing to score runs.
But ever since Dinesh Karthik started batting down the order at 6 and 7 playing the role of the finisher, Karthik has been among the runs for his side. In the match against Kings XI Punjab at Abu Dhabi, Karthik scored a crucial 58 off 29 deliveries helping Kolkata Knight Riders post a competitive total against the KL Rahul led Kings XI Punjab.
