4. Harbhajan Singh

Mumbai Indians bowler Harbhajan Singh has always been a crucial cog for MI since the inception of IPL. In the early matches of the tournament, he was dropped from the side, which was termed as ‘tactical’ by Rohit Sharma. But he had to include him in the playing XI from the next game as a player of Bhajji’s stature can’t be out of the game for very long.

In the ongoing season of IPL, Mumbai hand a bunch of exceptional performances from their players but Harbhajan has been the silent warrior. He has been one of the most economical bowlers for his team as he bowled with the economy of 6.48 in this season which was 5.81 before the game against Kings XI.

Mumbai Indians will require Harbhajan’s experience in the playoffs and he would be keen to prove his worth in coming matches as well.

5. Yuzvendra Chahal

Royal Challengers Bangalore are had a fiery time this season, as they managed only 3 wins out of 14 matches. They have never clicked as a unit in this season of IPL as their key players have led to their downfall. In middle of all these troubles, Yuzvendra Chahal has been bowled his heart out and tried to keep his side in the contention in every game.

Chahal has bagged 12 scalps in this season that too with an economy of 7.62 which is exceptional for a bowler in T20s. Regardless of his team’s performance, Chahal has been hailed by everyone including his skipper Virat Kohli. One can easily say that he is also one of the unsung heroes of IPL 2017.
