2. Surya Kumar Yadav (Mumbai Indians)

The 32-year-old pacer can bowl the tight line and lengths and put the under-performing Rohit Sharma under pressure. He can also bowl the short balls and dismiss Ishan Kishan. Notably, the short balls have been Ishan Kishan’s Achilles heel.
Mohammad Shami has an excellent average of 16.37 and has an exceptional economy of 7.23 in the ongoing IPL.
