The Purple Cap holder has been Warner’s main man, ensuring SRH do not miss the Fizz even for one bit. Bhuvneshwar has been sensational, whether it is with his yorkers, his knuckleball or the sharp swinging deliveries.

He has added pace too, regularly going upwards of 135kph. Currently, he is sitting pretty at 21 wickets in 10 innings with a five-wicket haul that demolished KXIP.

An average of 12.61 with an economy rate of 6.62 (second lowest for anyone with more than 10 wickets) – how do you argue against numbers like that? His 5/19 against KXIP are the second-best bowling figures this IPL. He also has a 3/20 and 3/21 against KKR and Mumbai Indians respectively, the two best batting units this season.
