3. R Ashwin (KXIP)

R Ashwin is a champion in itself. In IPL 2018, he will be leading the KXIP squad and there is no doubt about the fact that he will be the best leader the Punjab team has ever had. He has been known for having one of the smartest cricketing brains in world cricket which is also evident in his bowling as well. He will be the bowling spearhead of KXIP as well and with his ammunition leg-spin, he can be very deadly on all the pitch conditions in IPL. If KXIP dreams to get their maiden IPL title than he needs to pick as many wickets as possible this season.
