IPL 2019: 10 Most Valuable Players of the Season

#8 Shreyas Gopal (Rajasthan Royals)

Shreyas Gopal

Last year, Shreyas Gopal shocked everyone by picking up the wicket of Virat Kohli and Ab de Villiers in the same match. In fact, many had written it off as a fluke. This season, Gopal has proved that it was not the case.

He picked up the wicket of both Kohli and de Villiers when Rajasthan Royals faced Royal Challengers Bangalore on both occasions this year.

He even scalped a hat-trick in the match at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. He may be the only bowler in the world who can claim to have taken Kohli and de Villiers’ wicket in the same match on three different occasions.

Shreyas Gopal has quickly become one of the biggest talking points of the tournament and will soon find himself playing for India if he continues this form.

Gopal took a lot of responsibility after Jofra Archer left the tournament. He quickly became Rajasthan Royals’ strike bowler. Shreyas Gopal ended the season with 20 wickets from 14 matches at an economy rate of 7.22.
