#5 Prasidh Krishna

Leading the pace attack in a team like KKR is not easy but a young Krishna has done all that he can to do his job right. Having made his debut last year and with a slew of injuries to other fast bowlers this year, the responsibility on his shoulders has doubled. He has gone wicketless so far but Dinesh Karthik has always supported him and entrusted him with responsibilities at important stages. He bowled the Super Over against the Delhi Daredevils and held his nerve to give away only runs against the likes of Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer.
