Krunal Pandya can play a vital role for Mumbai if they have to retain the IPL title

#2 Lokesh Rahul (Kings XI Punjab)

KL Rahul is expected to open the innings for Punjab and might be used for wicket keeping also — KL Rahul is at number 8 spot for batting in the ICC T20I Rankings

This will be a make or break season for the Karnataka batsman who is yet to cement his spot in the ODI and T20I team. It is the only platform where Lokesh Rahul will look to stamp his authority and get in contention for the World Cup 2019.

On the other hand, Kings XI has invested Rs 11 crore on Rahul who will be the trump card in their side. He will be given the responsibility of opening the innings and also need to keep wickets for the side.
