4. Axar Patel

Azar Patel has been famous for his economical bowling that doesn’t allow the batsmen to score freely off him. He is currently the leading wicket-taker for Kings XI Punjab side with 8 wickets in 7 matches. But it’s not just the ball that he has made some useful contributions with his bat as well. Often he has found himself trying to bail the team out of trouble.

Hard hitting comes naturally to Axar and he smashes the ball when especially to the left-arm spinners. His arc comprises of the area between deep midwicket and long-off where he looks to hit massive sixes and that makes him the ideal prospect to bat up the order and do something that Narine is doing recently. He even batted at No.4 on a couple of occasions this season and has scored 122 runs so far at a strike rate of 132.61 that include 5 fours and 6 sixes.
