IPL 2017: Team of the tournament

Rashid Khan

The journey from the barren lands of Afghanistan to the biggest T20 league in the world has been a fairytale story for the 18-year-old. One of only two players from his nation to play the IPL, Khan has managed to torment the best of batsmen with his skiddy leg-spin, and shrewd variations that are extremely difficult to pick.

Jasprit Bumrah

India’s find of the year in 2016, Bumrah has translated his form for the India blue to the Mumbai blue with ease. He’s become more reliable with time, becoming assured and confident with experience. With Malinga not being in the best of form this time, Bumrah had to shoulder more responsibility and has done it with a cool head, as was highlighted in the brilliant super over he bowled against the Gujarat Lions, and in the finals against Pune.
