T20's evolution over the years has been a delight to watch with the teams adopting various approaches to win the contest. Most of the credit for the evolution in the shortest format of the game should go to the Indian Premier League which has helped players adapt to the constant changes in the game.

5. Mumbai Indians

Several players such as the likes of Aiden Blizzard, Richard Levi, Unmukt Chand have gone by the blink of an eye without creating any impact. The side opted to go for the former India U-19 captain Ishan Kishan for a hefty sum of INR 6 crores. With Rohit Sharma unlikely to open the innings the responsibility lies on the shoulders of the West Indian and the promising young Indian to steer their side towards a prospective fourth IPL crown.

4. Rajasthan Royals

Royals who are coming after a two-year layoff managed to pick their old talisman Ajinkya Rahane. To mix the calm temperament of Rahan the side acquired the services of Rahul Tripathi and D'Arcy Short.

3. Kings XI Punjab

With an immensely talented line of openers in the line such as Aaron Finch, Chris Gayle, Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul. The Northern outfit are on the prowl to make a major statement after narrowingly missing out on a place in the playoffs last year.

2. Delhi Daredevils

The franchise decided to go for experience at the top order instead of youth as they picked out Colin Munro and captain Gautam Gambhir in the bidding war. Top order department in the form of retained stars such as Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer

1. RCB

The Daniel Vettori-led coaching team had the primary agenda of strengthening the bowling attack. But managed to pick up some quality top order batsmen to bolster their already strong batting line up. The side managed to snap up Quinton De Kock, Brendon McCullum, Manan Vohra and Mandeep Singh who will blend well with the ever consistent Virat Kohli at the top of the order.
