Shubhman Gill- Kolkata Knight Riders:
The Under-19 star didn’t quite score the bulk of runs but definitely made an impact in his debut IPL. He looked quite mature for a 19-year-old which was the most startling aspect of his game. He batted quite lower in the middle order for the major part of the tournament.

However, when given the opportunity at the top of the order he has proved his worth in the team.
In one of the group matches against the Super Kings Gill scored a match-winning half-century and guided KKR to a victory.
Even in the Qualifier second against Sunrisers, it was his innings which kept them in the game. However, it wasn’t enough in the end as KKR bowed out of the tournament.
