Rishabh Pant is the talk of the town nowadays. The maverick Delhi boy is in contention for a place in India's World Cup squad. And even though the Indian team management has outrightly denied that IPL performances won't be considered when the selectors sit to select the final 15, big runs in the tournament will do a world of good to Pant's chances.

Moreover, the selectors are looking for a backup opener and KL Rahul is yet to seal that spot. Pant, who has mostly played in the middle order in the IPL, might want to show the selectors that he can fill in that role if needed. Interestingly, Pant started his IPL career as an opener and thus the role won't be new for him.

#3 Colin Munro

Even though Colin Munro couldn't perform as expected in IPL 2018, scoring just 63 runs in 5 matches, there are no doubts about his big hitting abilities. In the home series against India, Munro showed how explosive he can be in T20 cricket. Delhi will be hoping for an improved performance from the Kiwi in IPL 2019.
