One of the most exciting young cricketers in the world, Rishabh Pant has lit up grounds with his displays in the IPL. Over the last 3 seasons, Pant has delivered many match-winning performances for Delhi Capitals. A wicket-keeping batsman in the mould of Adam Gilchrist, he has all the talent in the world to win the award.

The 21-year-old lad has scored 1952 runs in 65 innings at an average of 33.65 and has got them at a strike rate of 161.32.The swashbuckling batsman hasn't been in the best of form of late, but his determination to do well in the IPL and secure a spot in the World Cup squad could help him score a lot of runs.

He scored a mammoth 684 runs in 14 innings last season and finished just 49 runs behind Kane Williamson, who won the Orange Cap, despite playing 3 matches less.
