#4 Rishabh Pant
Delhi Daredevils had spent massively for retaining Rishabh Pant before the auction. They had paid a hefty amount of INR 15 crore for the wicketkeeper-batsman. The 20-year-old did complete justice to his price tag and carried his team along single-handedly with the bat.
Even though DD didn’t have a great IPL 2018 yet this proved to be the breakthrough season for Pant. The left-hander scored 684 runs from 14 innings at an average of 52.62 with a stupendous strike rate of 173.6. He finished as the second highest run-getter of the season just behind Williamson. Pant also notched up the highest score of the league when he made 128 against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
