#6 Sarfaraz Khan
Before the auction this year, the most surprising retention was Sarfaraz Khan. Even the youngster had no clue that he was going to be retained. But Royal Challengers pulled off a surprising revelation by retaining the wicketkeeper-batsman.
Sarfaraz has played a couple of quickfire cameos in the previous editions of the IPL and aided his teams with the extra 10-20 runs at the end. He doesn’t fit in the middle-order that comprises of Kohli and de Villiers and so, he is expected to play the similar role of arriving the slog overs and trying to up the ante.
