2. Shikhar Dhawan (SRH)

Opening the innings alongside Hales, ‘Man of the Match’ Shikhar Dhawan played an innings full of responsibility in the game against DD. His nuances saw him shifting gears between the remaining batsmen patient, nudging the ball for a single/double and dominating the opposition bowlers. He ended up scoring his 30th IPL half-century 92 (50) with the help of nine fours and four sixes. In the season so far he has amassed 369 runs in 11 games at a strike rate of 143.
