- Amit Mishra (Delhi Daredevils):
The experienced leg break bowler was not at his best last year but started this season with a bang. He picked up 4/11 in the game against Kings XI Punjab and took them to their first victory in the campaign. Being a leg-spinner, Mishra was always a hard bowler to play against and has always been a wicket-taker for the franchises he has played over the years. Surely he will be a contender to run away with the Purple Cap this year.
