3. KL Rahul (KXIP)

The Bangalore wicketkeeper-batsman has been in an excellent form and has been the main reason for Kings XI Punjab’s success so far. Opening the innings, he has been a major factor alongside Gayle and has the fastest fifty in the IPL which he smacked in the first match. KL has so far scored 471 runs in the 10 matches that he has played. He is currently averaging 59 and boasts a strike rate of 156.47. He has four fifties in the tournament and will be hard to stop.
