#3 Yashasvi Jaiswal (RR):
Yashasvi Jaiswal made everyone take note of him with his batting exploits in the U-19 World Cup. There was a lot of hype surrounding his IPL debut. But Jaiswal had a poor IPL 2020 and he was dropped after a couple of games. Rajasthan have a lot of hopes on Jaiswal and this U-19 star can go a long way in IPL 2021.
#2 Devdutt Padikkal (RCB):
A lot was riding on Devdutt Padikkal when he was selected for RCB in IPL 2020. Padikkal lived up to the promise and he was one of the stars of IPL 2020. He scored 473 runs at an average of 31.5. But he will look to improve his strike rate of 124.8 in the coming season. If he lives up to his billing of hitting it effortlessly and carries on his aggressive streak even after the powerplay, Padikkal can be of huge value. He can be the next big thing for RCB.
