4. Dinesh Karthik (KKR)

Since the time he has become a leader of the team, Dinesh Karthik has been playing at a whole different level. Even in the last game against CSK, Karthik bludgeoned an 18-ball 45 not out to guide KKR to a six-wicket win. In the IPL 2018, he has amassed 280 runs with a strike-rate of 150. He is even introducing some innovative field settings and bowling changes with the newfound captaincy.
