1.Surya Kumar Yadav

After playing the role of a finisher in his ex-franchise Kolkata Knight Riders, he was brought by his home team Mumbai Indians last year. As an opener, he made sure to deliver very vital knocks in almost every match. He ended up at eighth position in the list of maximum run-getters with 512. Hard hitting skills and elegance define what he is now and his marvellous run in the recently concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy (360 runs at an average of 51.52) also makes him one of the players to watch out in this season.
