IPL 2018: 5 players who'll be up for the Emerging Player of the Season award

#4 Shubman Gill

Gill has scored with a strike rate of 137.23 in this season

The U-19 star has been exceptional for Kolkata Knight Riders this season. Gill received the Man of the Tournament award in the U-19 World Cup 2018. He has stood up to the expectations of the team and has played crucial knocks for the team.

Gill has played 8 matches in this season and scored 129 runs at an impressive average of 32.25 and a splendid strike rate of 137.23. Gill has played a huge role in the middle overs and has taken his team to victories against Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Gill's exceptional performances make him a contender for Emerging Player of the Season Award. It would be quite interesting to see him playing few more knocks for his team in order to take them to the playoffs.
