#1 Mayank Markande (MI)

Mayank Markande has to be the story of the IPL till now. It tells us how good the scouting process of the Mumbai Indians is. Coming into this season, MI didn’t have any experienced wrist spinner. So, many thought that MI would struggle in the spin department and there was an opportunity for the youngsters to shine. Mayank Markande has definitely grabbed the opportunity with both hands.
The 20-year-old leg-spinner has been absolutely magnificent this season. Against CSK, he foxed MS Dhoni with a googly which is a rare thing to see. He has taken 10 wickets in 6 games at an economy rate of 7.15 and currently is the purple cap holder. If he continues the way he is going right now, he will definitely win the Emerging Player Award this season.
