Amit Mishra is one of the most underrated and unlucky cricketers
Kolkata Knight Riders - Nitish Rana
Ad
Nitish Rana
Nitish Rana was an unnoticed contributor to KKR's success last season. Even after 2 consecutive successful IPL seasons, Rana remains an underrated player and many don't see him to be of international cricket standard. Rana is a highly consistent performer for Delhi in the domestic circuit and has even captained them in the limited overs matches. He wore the Orange Cap for a brief period during the 2017 IPL season playing for the Mumbai Indians.
He was bought by KKR last season but his price was low when compared to other batsmen of the same caliber. He isn't even close to breaking into the Indian side and is not even a part of the India A side. An elegant batsman, a very effective part-time bowler (he picked up Kohli and ABD off consecutive balls) and a great fielder, Rana is KKR's underrated player to watch out for this season.
