#1. Mayank Markande’s spells in MI’s first two matches

Mumbai Indians may have lost their first two matches in this year’s IPL but they have unearthed a gem in Mayank Markande. The 20-year-old spinner is currently the leading wicket-taker in the competition.
In the first match of the tournament, Markande took three wickets, conceding just 23 runs. He dismissed Ambati Rayudu before taking the key wicket of MS Dhoni. Markande’s third scalp was Deepak Chahar. His spell was the second best by a Mumbai Indians bowler on IPL debut.
Markande followed this up with an even better spell against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Markande conceded 23 runs again but took four wickets. The 20-year-old dismissed Wriddhiman Saha before getting the wicket of the dangerous Shikhar Dhawan. He then dismissed Manish Pandey before bowling out Shakib al Hasan.
