10 Debutants who hogged the limelight in IPL 2016

The Indian Premier League is one of the biggest stages in the world of cricket. Every season sees new IPL debutants. For the players, as they all admit, it is a whole new competitive experience altogether. While some of the IPL debutants go on to make a big name for themselves not only in the tournament but also make it to their national teams, there are others who fade away with time. Nonetheless, here is a pick of 10 players who drew the most limelight this season in IPL 2016:

1. Jos Buttler – Mumbai Indians:

Mumbai Indians roped in the services of English wicket keeper batsman Jos Buttler this season. Buttler rated the tournament as the best T20 league in the world. But with his performances, he couldn’t live up to his name. He lit the tournament with a quick 41 against Kolkata Knight Riders in his second match for the team. Barring that, he couldn’t play a handy innings after that. Another blitz of 29* came in the later part of the season against Royal Challengers Bangalore. In all, he played all the 14 matches for MI in the league stages and scored 255 runs at an average of 23.18. He had an impressive strike rate of 138.58 though.
