5. Ashok Sharma
Ashok Sharma is a 19-year-old bowler from Rajasthan who does not have much experience in this format. In fact, he has not even made his T20 yet for Rajasthan. Hence, when KKR bid INR 55 lakhs for this right-arm seamer, it caught a few by surprise. However, Brendon McCullum & Co. have got their target and now the onus is on Sharma to prove his mettle.
