IPL 9: Best XI of week 2

The second week in the IPL 9 saw some exciting encounters. The under-performers – Sunrisers Hyderabad, piloted by their skipper David Warner, took the highway route with three back to back victories. Their bowling attack looks to be the most superior in the tournament at the moment. Virat Kohli’s heroics with the bat were not enough for RCB to press their dominance over other teams as they lost 2 out o their three games last week. Their struggle to find an effective bowling lineup seems to be unending for them. The MS Dhoni-led Rising Pune Supergiants were still in search of their first win in the tournament while Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils played out a thriller.

Players showcased some spectacular performances during the last week. So, here in this analysis, we try to compile the best playing XI of the top performers.

1. David Warner (C):

David Warner was undoubtedly the player of the week. The Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper has been milking runs effortlessly, smashing scores of 90* against Mumbai Indians, 74* against Gujarat Lions and 59 against Kings XI Punjab. His performances enabled his team to win three back to back matches after starting the tournament with two successive losses. Past week also saw him engage in a contest for the Orange Cap with another prolific run-making machine – Virat Kohli.
