4 Imran Tahir

In the competition to the Purple Cap, just one wicket behind Kagiso Rabada is CSK’s leg-spinner Imran Tahir with 24 wickets at an economy rate of 6.65. He has been Dhoni’s go-to man to break the partnerships in the middle overs and his enthusiasm in the field is simply unparalleled. The 40-year old has made it a habit to make his mark on any type of wicket against any opposition. CSK would bank on him to come good in the playoffs to progress further.
