2. Ankit Rajpoot

Indian players to register best figures in an innings in IPL history

With 11  wickets in his bag in the last season, Kings XI Punjab franchise chose to retain him and it will be a huge responsibility on this youngster to share the ball with Indian Frontline pacer Mohammed Shami.

The domestic season also played a crucial role in making him the one to watchout for. 14 wickets including a fantastic 4/17 against Tripura in Syed Mushtaq Ali proves that he is ready to take up his duties as the second pacer for the side. Can Rajpoot replicate his domestic stint in the cash rich league? Only time will tell.
