2. Rahul Chahar in place of Yuzvendra Chahal if rested:
The younger of the Chahar cousins ended with the IPL title while playing for Mumbai Indians. Though he may have been well behind big brother Deepak on the wicket charts, Rahul has more than his own to hold once they’re back home.
Most impressively, he saved his best for the toughest opponent and the biggest stage. In two playoff games against Chennai Super Kings, including the final, Chahar’s combined figures read 8-0-28-3.
An economy of 3.50, in the season’s biggest games, against a seasoned batting lineup, tells you there’s a long road ahead for the young leggie. All the good work helped him to seal a spot in India’s A team, where he is doing brilliantly for the team.
