9. Shikhar Dhawan:
The stylish southpaw and the Indian opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan finds a place in the chart. He has been in a dangerous form for the country in shorter formats of the game. Dhawan had always been the best batsman for his franchise during his entire career. In fact, he made IPL as a good platform to break into the Indian National Cricket Team.
Last year, he has been the good supporter to Kane Williamson at the top of the order. He used to knock runs on a consistent basis for the team but the injury saw him staying away for a quite a period of time. Last year, he scored 497 runs in 16 matches for Sunrisers Hyderabad, who was the runner-up of the tournament.
Yet another reason to watch him in the upcoming edition would be his change in Jersey. He will be playing for his home state in IPL 2019. It is a return to his home and Dhawan is quite excited to make a mark of his own for his franchise.
