IPL: Top contenders to score a ton for their respective franchises

#5 Kings XI Punjab - KL Rahul

There's no better T20 Indian player at the moment other than KL Rahul. The traditional opener who plays the extension of his shots from the Test cricket is a delight to watch when on song. Playing for RCB and SRH in the previous editions, the Bengaluru boy didn't get enough opportunities to bat up the order but a promotion for him in the batting order is on the cards this time around.

He is one of the core players from the Kings' batting point of view and one of the three Indians to score a century in all of the three formats of the game. The wicket-keeper batsman who was roped in for INR 11 crore by the Kings, is believed to be there trump card for this season. He has the knack of playing big innings and that too at a lot quicker rate. He is likely to open for Punjab and may look to count on this season to play the aggressor's role for the men in red.
