Ashish Nehra, playing for Chennai Super Kings, will without a doubt be one of the top bowlers in CLT20 this season. He already has an above-average bowling figure performance of 21 for 4. He has a history of being injury prone, but from the first match, this looks to be his season.

One of the younger and up-and-coming stars, Khayelihle Zondo will be one of the marquee players all season for the Dolphins (South Africa). He put up batting strike rate of 126 in the first match against Perth, coming in at the No. 5 spot in the order and batting until the very end. His youth and energy will be a huge asset for the team in CLT20.

Kane Williamson of the Northern Knights had the best first match of the season, putting up 101 runs no out. He had 5 sixes in the team's first victory of the season. Why should we keep an eye on him? He just hit the fastest hundred in Champions League T20 history. That's why.
