IPL 2018, RCB vs KXIP: 5 players to watch out for

KL Rahul

The charismatic batsman-wicket keeper has made a statement of sorts with his batting in the opening match against DD where he went to register a fifty of just 14 balls.

KL Rahul is one of the most attractive batsmen to watch out for in the world currently. He is very much in the Virat Kohli mold as he plays conventional cricketing shots which is a sign of aggression.

There will be very few occasions when we would see KL Rahul take the aerial route to attack bowlers and oppositions. He said he wanted to change his image-one of a successful Test match player but not much success elsewhere.

He managed to do that in the first match for KXIP with an outstanding 50 of 14 deliveries against DD. RCB would be wary of this batsman who is sure to put on a performance which would make RCB and their fans wonder why they let go of him.
