The right-handed wicketkeeper-batter has been proving his worth for his team this season after grinding hard in the previous edition. Many inconsistent knocks and failures, but he never allowed his previous failures to affect him. The 25-year-old batter was first bought by Punjab Kings (Kings XI Punjab then) in 2019, and PBKS bought him again during the 2022 mega auction for INR 60 lakhs. In the ongoing IPL 2026, he has played 13 matches so far and has 441 runs with a batting average of 40 and a batting strike rate of 160.

An emerging talent where the pace and hard-hitting, and consistent deliveries are impressing everyone in the ongoing IPL 2026. After a stellar season in the Delhi Premier League (DPL), Lucknow Super Giants spent INR 30 lakh to sign Prince Yadav at the IPL 2025 mega auction. He was able to take 3 wickets in 6 matches in the last edition, but he impressed everyone with his bowling performance this season, taking 16 wickets in 12 IPL 2026 matches so far at a bowling average of 24.

Sakib Hussain, the 21-year-old latest pace sensation of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), made a stellar debut in the IPL 2026 by taking 4 wickets in his opening match against the Rajasthan Royals and impressed everyone.

He has been unstoppable in the tournament, taking 12 wickets in 8 innings.
