#3 Rilee Rossouw (76* off 52 against Khulna Titans)

Rilee Rossouw knocked a brilliant inning against the Titans in BPL

Rilee Rossouw, the 29-year-old South African batsman, is playing the sixth season BPL for the defending champions Rangpur Riders. The left-handed opener started the BPL with a lean performance of scoring only seven runs in the first match against Chittagong Vikings on the opening day of the tournament.

In his team's second match of the season, Rossouw smashed 76 against Khulna Titans. His well-timed fifty helped the Riders register their first win of the season.

The southpaw hit eight fours and two sixes in his first fifty in BPL, and he carried the bat in the match. While hitting the fifty, Rilee made a 104-stand with Englishman Ravi Bopara in the fourth wicket stand that guided the Riders to post a challenging total of 169 runs in the unpredictable Dhaka wicket.
