5. Rashid Khan (SRH)

Afghani leg-spinner Rashid Khan started off the IPL in a quiet fashion. In the last games against DD, from picking up wickets of two crucial batsmen to bowling at a spectacular economy rate, Rashid Khan delivered another game-changing performance tonight. Adjourned as the ‘Man of the Match’, his bowling figures of 4-0-23-2 saw him dismissing Prithvi Shaw and Rishabh Pant.
