3. Rahul Tripathi

The Pune Boy has been a talk of the Indian Premier ever since he played his first match for Kolkata Knight Riders at Sharjah Cricket Stadium where he along with Eoin Morgan almost chased down the target of 229 against Delhi Capitals.

In the following match against Chennai Super Kings Rahul was then promoted as an opener where he went on to score a crucial knock of 80 runs, eventually helping Kolkata Knight Riders secure that win against Chennai. The form Rahul is in we all should expect much bigger and greater knocks from the youngster going forward in the tournament.
