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

#2 Billy Stanlake - Sunrisers Hyderabad

Billy Stanlake's IPL career has taken a turn around for the good. Last year he played two matches for RCB and conceded 70 runs off 8 overs taking only two wickets. The tall and lanky Australian fast bowler had a point to prove before the start of the season and he has done justice to the talent that he possesses.

In the three matches that he played, he claimed 5 wickets with a decent economy rate of 7.66. He has troubled batsmen with his pace and bounce. He bowled the fastest delivery in this year's IPL clocking 151.38 kmph and has 20 of the 25 fastest deliveries to his name. He has the highest number of dot balls, 35, in the first three matches. He was adjudged the man of the match for his performance against KKR as got the wicket of the dangerous Andre Russell and turned the match in SRH's favour. In spite of having such a strong bowling lineup, Stanlake is SRH's X-factor this season.
