- Bhuvneshwar Kumar:
Despite enduring a dreadful start to his campaign against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kumar roared back to form in some serious style. In this particular campaign, fans witnessed a rejuvenated Kumar, who was equally effective with the new ball and at the death. With the new ball, Kumar struck quite frequently, and at the death, his yorkers were simply on the money. It was no surprise that with 23 wickets, he was the proud holder of the coveted Purple Cap. His economy rate of 7.42 was pretty acceptable as well.
