Shreyas Iyer - Delhi Daredevils
The next Rohit Sharma as in the words of G.A.Shekar, the head coach of Delhi Daredevils, the Mumbai batsman is easily the find of the season. Regularly striking at the sweet spot, the right-hander has dominated world class bowlers while finishing matches almost single-handedly at times.
Sandeep Sharma - Kings XI Punjab
The swing bowler continued his impressive showing in this year's tournament and prized out wickets. Was perhaps not so effective as he was last season, yet his new ball bowling deserves recognition.
With 13 wickets from 12 matches, the right-arm seamer has had a telling impact with the new ball.
Yuzvendra Chahal - Royal Challengers Bangalore
Having Chinnaswamy Stadium as the home ground might not be a thing to cherish for a bowler especially a spinner. However, this youngster has stepped up on most occasions and is the other youngster to enjoy a fruitful spell in the competition. The leggie has 17 wickets so far in 11 outings.
Harshal Patel - Royal Challengers Bangalore
The seam bowler is one of the revelations this season with reliable numbers throughout the season. Bowling medium pace, the Haryana player has 12 wickets from 11 matches including an impressive 2-12 in the 10-over game against KXIP.
Other contenders include
- David Wiese - 11 wickets and 110 runs - 10 matches
- Ishwar Pandey - 10 wickets - 9 matches
