IPL 2018: 5 Players who are the star performers after changing teams

#3 Lokesh Rahul (Kings XI Punjab)

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) had retained Virat Kohli, AB De Villiers, and Sarfaraz Khan. Surprisingly, KL Rahul was missing in the list and could have easily replaced Sarfaraz.

In the end, when he was bought by Punjab for a hefty amount of Rs 11 crore, it was too much for RCB to make use of the Right To Match (RTM) card. Rahul is having a brilliant outing with KXIP, scoring 268 runs in 7 matches and a strike rate of 170.

Rahul has made his intentions clear with consistent performance and is making a strong case for the opening slot in the Indian team. He is consistently give flying starts to Punjab with his solid technique and is in the race for Orange cap.
