Pawan Negi
The year 2016 has been particularly kind to the 23-year-old allrounder, who earned his maiden call-up to the Indian team for the home season that culminates with the World T20. The crowning glory was reserved for the weekend though, when Negi, with a base price of Rs 30 lakh, was snapped for Rs 8.5 crore by Delhi Daredevils. Building on his successful two-year stint with Chennai Super Kings, who signed him for Rs 10 lakh in 2014, the bowling allrounder was a revelation for Delhi in the limited-overs formats this season with consistent performances in the 50-over Vijay Hazare Trophy and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. In the 20-over tournament this season, he averaged 86.50 from nine innings, and remained not out on six occasions, apart from picking up six wickets at an economy of 8.71 and a strike rate of 23.1.
M Ashwin
M Ashwin, a legspinner, has played all of three first-class matches since his debut for Tamil Nadu three seasons ago. But the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, India's domestic T20 competition, that was advanced in order to give the aspirants an opportunity to showcase their talent to the IPL franchises proved to be a turning point. He finished the 2015-16 edition as the second-highest wicket-taker for his state with ten scalps. His economy rate of 5.52 across six matches stood out, and perhaps went a long way in his Rs 4.5 crore bid from Rising Pune Supergiants. Ashwin honed his craft at the cricket academy run by CS Suresh Kumar, the former Tamil Nadu batsman, before making the transition to the senior side on the back of strong performances for the state's Under-23s side. Ashwin has been a regular feature over the years as a net bowler for Chennai Super Kings. The 25-year-old idolises Anil Kumble, and recently trained with Imran Tahir during South Africa's tour of India in November.
