A promising leg-spinner, Ravi Bishnoi has been purchased by Kings XI Punjab for Rs 2 crore. He has picked up 12 wickets in seven youth one-dayers at an economy rate of under 4.5. He is making a name for himself with his ability to turn the ball big, and also his impressive googly.

In five Vijay Hazare Trophy games for Rajasthan, he picked up seven wickets and had best figures of three for 49 runs. After six List A cricket matches, he has eight wickets to his name at an economy rate of 5.63. With the bat, he scored 22 in the semi-final clash of the 2019-20 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy against Tamil Nadu.

In the recent youth ODIs in South Africa, he has returned with impressive figures of 3 for 36, 2 for 20, and 2 for 29. This should give him a lot of boost for the upcoming U-19 World Cup.

#2. Priyam Garg

A highly capable batsman, Priyam Garg, who will be captaining the Indian U-19 team at the World Cup in South Africa, was sold to Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs 1.9 crore. The right-handed batsman smashed a century on Ranji Trophy debut for Uttar Pradesh against Goa in November 2018.

Garg ended up accumulating over 800 runs in his maiden first-class season. In fact, in December 2018, he also brought up his maiden double hundred, scoring 206 against Tripura. After 12 first-class games, he averages nearly 67. Further, Garg has an average of 47.13 after 19 List A games with two hundreds to his credit

In the youth ODIs in South Africa, he has already notched up scores of 52 and 110. He has a tough act to follow though as he looks to emulate the likes of Kohli, Shaw and Kaif.
