When you compare the experience and success of both, Shreyas Gopal does not have to show much in front of Imran Tahir. But he standing neck to neck with the latter is the beauty of the IPL. It has allowed the younger players to challenge some of the best players in the world.

Tahir had been the go-to bowler for CSK. He scalped 26 wickets from 17 matches at an economy of 6.6. He finished first in the list of leading wicket-takers in this IPL, just a solitary wicket ahead of his country mate Kagiso Rabada.

Gopal, who was one of the biggest emerging talents last year, proved that he is not a one-season wonder. He has scalped 20 wickets from 14 matches and stood 3rd in the Purple Cap list. Who can forget his hatrick against RCB, which included Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. In a season where RR was ordinary at their best, he turned out to be one of the few reasons for them to smile.
