IPL  2018: One player from each team who has performed beyond expectations so far

#6 Shreyas Gopal - Rajasthan Royals

Shreyas Gopal who part of the Mumbai Indians squad for four years played only 6 matches. In those six matches, he has an economy rate close to 8. In this year, he had a major turnaround in terms of economy rate as he is troubling the batsmen with his leg-breaks. In the ten overs that he bowled this season, he conceded just 63 runs and took two crucial wickets.

He was crucial in Rajasthan Royals' victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore. He picked the crucial wickets of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. Virat Kohli scored a half-century and was looking to take the match away from RR but Gopal came to their rescue. Chasing a target of 218, RCB scored 198 runs in 20 overs and fell short by 19 runs due to an economical performance by Gopal who only conceded 22 runs in his four overs.
