Rahul Tewatia (DD)

Rahul Tewatia’s only claim to fame is a fabulous performance on his Kings XI Punjab debut against Kolkata Knight Riders in a do-or-die match last IPL season. However, this year in the opening game he wielded his willow effectively as he smashed just 9 in 7 balls. Nevertheless, Ricky Ponting, the new head coach, has a keen eye for talent, Tewatia could get more game time. He was good in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 competition and gathered a lot of attention but the youngster can be a dependable match-winner for DD. If Ponting and Co and unearth his inner talent, Tewatia could be a major surprise package.
