Ajinkya Rahane (RR) – 178 runs

Ajinkya Rahane churned-out his brutal best against Delhi Capitals (DC). He was removed from the captaincy and that had paid rich dividends for his as he scored is second IPL century. However, he kept his calm and played one of the best innings of his life. He took just 63 balls to score 105 runs, but his team failed to go over the line. However, in the next couple of matches, he gave much-need starts for his team and RR won those games as well.

Shikhar Dhawan (DC) – 104

Shikhar Dhawan has reached the purple patch as he impressed one and all in the fifth week as well. He started off the week with an unbeaten 54 off 27 balls against Rajasthan Royals (RR). Then, this was followed by another fifty against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). On both the occasions his team won the games as well.
