The 14th IPL Edition is just three weeks away. It is due to start on 9 March, but there are only five venues allocated. Players would continue to stay in the Bio Bubble, and home advantage would be lost to a few teams, including the Mumbai Indians. The BCCI has allotted five centers where the virus is under some control and a possibility of 50 % attendance.

IPL has a horde of prizes to give away at the end of the tournament, and one of them is the ‘ Best Emerging Player of the Tournament. In the past, the youngsters who have walked away with this coveted recognition have boosted themselves to new heights, but a few have failed despite the take-off. The ones who have succeeded in the past are Rishab Pant, Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Axar Patel, Shreyas Iyer, Mustafizur Rahman, and Sanju Samson. The other half continues to play IPl but is not able to make it to International Cricket.

The current IPL has some new exciting names, and kheltalk.com has narrowed down the list on who could be the best emerging player of the top 5 Contenders.

The gutsy gentle giant stands tall at 6.4 ft; a middle-order batsman from Tamilnadu was one of the hot picks for 5.25 Crores by Punjab Kings. Sharukh is s powerful hitter and has a wealth of experience playing in the domestic circuit. He is best suited to play in the ‘ death overs’ since his strength is his high strike rate and aggressive running between wickets. Sharukh may get his chances if he scores big. He may be sent up the order. Definitely a contender but has the least possibilities.
