Indian Premier League (IPL) has the reached its final stages and now the teams will fight more intensely in the playoffs. In this season of IPL, the fans have witnessed some outstanding performances from both Indian as well as overseas players. Some of the emerging players in this edition were Rahul Tripathi, Rishabh Pant, Basil Thampi, Shreyas Iyer, Nitish Rana and a lot more.

These players sometimes get the credit for what they have done. Their performances have always been overshadowed by the other players’ magical knock or spell. But there are some players who need to be credited for the persistence and professionalism they have shown throughout the season. Here we look at the 5 unsung heroes of IPL 10.

1. Basil Thampi

Gujarat Lions’ pacer Basil Thampi was one of the most reliable bowlers for his team. Lions have made various changes in their side throughout the season. But Thampi was the player who played each and every game for the lions, apart from their skipper Suresh Raina.

Thampi has been one of the emerging players this season. He has impressed most of the cricket experts with his pace and the ability to bowl consistent yorkers. This season he has taken 11 wickets in 12 matches. However, he has been a bit expensive in conceding runs, as his economy in the season was 9.49 but he will only improve as he will play more games.
