3. KL Rahul
Probably, the best emerged Indian batsman this IPL season would be KL Rahul. He has opened the innings when Gayle is out of form, drifted down the order when the top 3 were in rollicking form. No matter where he played, he delivered for RCB and added a new dimension to RCB batting which has been traditionally dependent on the big 3.
He has amassed 397 runs in 14 innings and has adapted to various batting positions which will help the team to have extra options when they take on the home side. He has a great chance to break into Indian middle order which is unreliable during the last few months.
