Lalit Yadav
Young Lalit Yadav has been in and out of the eleven for a while, getting consistent chances over the last couple seasons. He is a valuable batter down the order and can bowl decent off-spin and finally came to the party with a strong knock against the Mumbai Indians. Previously, he came up with some consistent performances as well in the limited opportunities, but Lalit Yadav finally looks like he can get some attention and more runs are expected from him.
