5 KPL players who could make their debut in the IPL next year

Stallin Hoover

He might have had a lot of heads turning due to his interesting name at the beginning of the tournament. However, by the end of it, it was his batting performances were the talk of the town.

He began the KPL batting in the middle order for the Belagavi Panthers but was promoted to the position of an opener after the injury to Kaunain Abbas. The promotion did wonders to him and the team as he provided the perfect start on a number of occasions.

An extremely aggressive batsman, Stallin decimated opposition bowlers and smashed them all around the park. It was his 81 run knock in the final which helped the Panthers lift the coveted trophy.

In the end, he fell short of the obtaining the Orange Cup by just 10 runs. He scored 255 runs in 7 innings at an average of 36.42 and a phenomenal strike-rate of 153.62 with three half-centuries to his name.
