Samarth's consistency at the top across all formats, might augur well for him to earn an IPL contract this season.
#3 Priyank Panchal
The Gujarat batsman who went unsold at the last season's auction with a base price of INR 20 lakhs has been one of the star performers in the domestic circuit since making his First-class debut a decade ago as an 18-year-old.
Priyank finished the 2016-17 Ranji Trophy season as the highest run-getter with a whopping 1310 runs in 10 matches at an average of 87.33 with his highest score being 314*.

A useful right-arm medium bowler, Panchal deserves an IPL contract given his credentials with the bat over the last few domestic seasons.
#2 Varun Chakravarthy
The right-arm mystery spinner shot into the limelight during the 2018 Tamil Nadu Premier League where he turned out for the Siechem Madurai Panthers.
His disciplined bowling, both in the power play as well in the slog overs, was instrumental in his side's title-winning performance in the third edition of one of the most promising T20 leagues in India.
Varun, who recorded an economy of just 4.70, bowled 125 dot balls in the 40 overs that he bowled throughout the season. He picked up nine wickets in ten matches, with his best figures reading 3/16.
His variations with the ball during the third edition of the TNPL were exceptional and he is sure to unfurl some in the next IPL if he gets his much-deserved contract at the 2019 auctions.
His four-over quota proved vital for Madurai's success, as batsmen were visibly perplexed while facing his deliveries.
He followed it up by scalping 22 wickets in 9 matches for Tamil Nadu at the 2018 Vijay Hazare Trophy and emerged as the second highest wicket-taker in the tournament. Expect Varun to land a lucrative contract at the 2019 IPL auctions after his recent exploits with the ball!
