Unlike Shivam, Akshdeep Nath actually knows what it is to be in an IPL game. The 25-year-old already has three years of IPL experience behind him. He had played for two IPL teams including the now-defunct Gujarat Lions and Kings XI Punjab.

However, Akshdeep hasn't had much success in the Indian Premier League so far. This is because of the fact that he received only minimal chances to play. He is a batsman and an occasional wicket-keeper with good leadership potential.

Akshdeep was the vice-captain of India U-19 team that won the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup. He was the leading run scorer for Uttar Pradesh in 2017/18 Ranji Trophy with 387 runs in five matches. He also topped the run-scoring charts for the same team in 2016/17 Vijay Hazare Trophy with 293 runs in six matches.

With enough chances, Akshdeep can break out into one of the major stars for the RCB side. It looks like he would be regularly featured starting from the very first IPL 2019 match as the determined Bangalore side bought him after quite a bidding war.
