2. Lhuan-dre Pretorius

Lhuan-dre Pretorius burst onto the scene during SA20 2025, scoring some big runs for Paarl Royals. The left-handed batter opened the innings and finished as the highest run-getter in the six-team tournament. He slammed 397 runs from 12 innings at an average of 33.08 and a strike rate of 166.81.

Pretorius is just 19 years old, and he can hit a long ball. His ability to clear the ropes at will would have made him a great choice for CSK. Pretorius is also a good player of spin, and that would have helped him excel at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. He has a formidable strike rate of 147.17 in the shortest format. The southpaw has the potential to be a big name in world cricket in the coming years.
