KL Rahul

KL Rahul had a near perfect season with the bat last year as he almost single-handedly took KXIP team into the playoffs. Lack of support from the other batsmen led to the downfall of KXIP after an impressive start to their season.

Rahul, through his impressive performances during the 2018 season, managed to regain his spot in the Indian limited overs squads.

He played 14 matches last year and scored 659 runs at an average of 54.92 including 6 fifties. He scored his runs at an impressive strike rate of 158.41.
