#1 Mayank Markande

One of the finds of the season, Mumbai Indians' Mayank Markande is making a name for himself this season and is in contention to win the Purple Cap.
Markande announced his arrival in his first game against CSK where he took three wickets and conceded just 23 runs. The Punjab-born spinner followed this up with an even better spell against Sunrisers Hyderabad where he took four wickets.
He took ten wickets in six matches so far this season with an impressive bowling strike rate of 12.00.
The 20-year-old impressed everyone with his performances this season and will be key in Mumbai Indians' push for the top four finish after a poor start of the season.
