Young Turks - 5 - Swapnil Asnodkar

IPL Team - Rajasthan Royals

Ranji Trophy Team - Goa

IPL Performance - Stunned everybody by appearing out of nowhere to thrash all bowlers all around the park. Before the IPL he had a strike rate of about 40-odd in limited overs cricket !

Features - Is unafraid to thrash every ball and has a more than fair range of strokes

Concerns - Has not shown yet a defensive technique, could be vulnerable under seaming conditions.

Suggestions - Keep him in the fray, probably won't quite find a place in India squad for a while at least, but his name should be at the back of the mind of selectors while considering limited overs team
