IPL 2018, Week 3 - Best XI of the Week
Here is a look at the top performers of the third week.
Deepak Chahar – Chennai Super Kings
Deepak Chahar has been one of the unsung heroes of the success of the Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2018. In some games, he has bowled only a couple of overs, and there have been rare instances when he has got his complete quota of four overs. In either of the case, Chahar has managed to get a lot of assistance from the tracks and the new ball. He has managed to shape the ball both ways with the new cherry in hand.
His best in the season came this week against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Chahar bowled his complete quota of four overs and gave away just 15 runs. He even bowled a maiden first up and ran through the SRH top order. He accounted for the wickets of Ricky Bhui, Manish Pandey, and Deepak Hooda.
Ankit Rajpoot – Kings XI Punjab
Ankit Rajpoot became the first bowler in the IPL 2018 to take a five wicket haul. Rajpoot got his chance to play in the tournament in this particular week. He delivered with the ball and came up with some seriously good performances. While his first attempt was a decent one, his second was an outstanding one. Rajpoot ran through the Sunrisers Hyderabad top order in an away game in Hyderabad.
He dismissed the big names like Shikhar Dhawan, Kane Williamson, and Wriddhiman Saha to holt the hosts in the game. In the final over of the game, he dismissed Manish Pandey and Mohammad Nabi to complete his five wicket haul. He returned with figures of 5/14 in his four overs.
