#5 Umesh Yadav, bowling sensation in the powerplay
Virat Kohli's use of Umesh Yadav, arguably the tournament's most potent strike force in the initial powerplay, came in for well-deserved praise. In what was one of Virat Kohli's better decisions that came rarely this season, he aimed at going behind wickets with his strike bowler, instead of waiting till the death overs to finish his quota.

Umesh, in turn, bowled maidens and wicket-maidens early on, en route to his most successful IPL season: 20 wickets from 14 games at an economy rate of 7.86. He is also one of the few strike bowlers to finish his quota before ten overs, and he did so more number of times than any other bowler. It was Umesh's undying efforts that played a remarkable role in bundling out KXIP for just 88, which made a playoff chance near possible for RCB.
Courtesy of his efforts, Umesh Yadav will most certainly find his place in the national squad as well and could go on to become one of India's chief attacking options ahead of the 2019 World Cup.
