He may have just scored 260 runs at a strike rate of 133.33 in this edition of IPL, but what comes out as a huge positive for Hardik Pandya is his bowling.

His tally of 18 wickets in 13 games, third on the list of most wickets this year, is a sign of his improvement on the bowling front. His wicket-taking ability can also be judged by his strike rate of 14.22, next only to Andrew Tye's 14 for anyone who picked 10 or more wickets.

Four decent overs, with the ability to break crucial stands, lower order big hitting capabilities, and an unparalleled athleticism in the field make him an ideal choice for fulfilling the role of a genuine all-rounder.

The No. 1 T20I bowler in the world, Rashid Khan was worth every penny of the large amount of ₹9 crores that Sunrisers shelled out for him. The confidence that Hyderabad have of defending just about any total is largely built on four critical overs from the Afghan teenager.

Often used by Williamson at the end of power play and then before the death, Rashid seldom disappointed as he foxed the best in the business with his leagues and googlies.

His 18 wickets have helped his team win crunch encounters with his economy rate of 6.91 further increasing pressure on opposition batsmen.
