The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League</a> is in the midst of an exciting and closely contested season. With the tournament now at its halfway stage, all of the teams are evenly poised, meaning that every match from here on will be crucial in determining the final standings.<o:p></o:p>

Week four was all about the bottom-placed team Delhi Capitals finding their mojo and making a much-needed comeback. While for the Chennai Super Kings, they were able to put up some solid performance this week. Mumbai Indians have been struggling a bit as their bowlers and batters haven’t clicked together while Gujarat Titans pulled off a miracle this week against Lucknow Super Giants, thanks to Mohit Sharma<o:p></o:p>

Surprisingly, we might have seen Punjab’s future captain in Sam Curran as he was the one leading from the front for the team int he absence of regulas skipper Shikhar Dhawan. Talking about <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitter-reactions-cricket/twitter-reactions-kolkata-knight-riders-end-rcbs-winning-streak-to-get-back-to-winning-ways/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kolkata Knight Riders</a>, they were able to make a decent comeback against teh Royal Challengers Bangalore in Chinnaswamy. Talking about other teams, LSG have been struggling because of their top order and Sunrisers Hyderabad need to pull their socks up.<o:p></o:p>

Let us have a look at the best XI from the fourth week of the IPL 2023:<o:p></o:p>

1. Devon Conway (CSK)&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

Devon Conway has somehow been successful in filling the void that Mike Hussey had left in the CSK camp. His ability to play the role of anchor has helped batters like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube to play their natural game. In the fourth week of the IPL, the CSK management backed him like they always have, and the efforts finally paid off.<o:p></o:p>

During the home game against SRH, Conway scored a fluent 77 from 57 balls at an impressive strike rate of 135.08. Later on, he scored 56 runs from 40 balls versus KKR wherein he stitched an excellent partnership with Ajinkya Rahane. His consistency in finding the gaps and rotating the strike is a huge asset for CSK.<o:p></o:p>

Even though he failed to perform as per expectations in the away game against RR, he has been a successful contributor to the franchise. His temperament is solid as he has been able to take up responsibility when Gaikwad fails to perform. Hence, he opens the lineup in this playing XI to take up the role of the anchor.<o:p></o:p>

2. Jason Roy (KKR)<o:p></o:p>

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1682053607464_Jason-Roy.jpeg" alt="" width="640" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Jason Roy. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/ipl-2023-jason-roy-fined-10-match-fees-for-code-of-conduct-breach-in-rcb-vs-kkr-clash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jason Roy</a> has been the ideal opener for the Kolkata Knight Riders in this edition of the IPL. Even after being an established opener for the English side, lack of support from franchises in the IPL never enabled him to showcase his skills in the toughest T20 league. But now, it looks like he has found his mojo in the IPL.<o:p></o:p>

During the home game against the Chennai Super Kings, Roy was sent in at number six, which is unusual for a batter like him. Well, it never bothered him as he scored a magnificent 61 from just 26 balls. But this was not enough as KKR’s batting stumbled against a strong spin attack.<o:p></o:p>

After a home defeat, KKR travelled down to the south to face RCB. Here, things were a bit different as Roy was given the chance to open the attack. He scored a quick 56 off 29 balls to ensure that KKR were off to a good start. This time, the men in purple were able to cross the line as KKR won by 21 runs.<o:p></o:p>

3. Glenn Maxwell (RCB)<o:p></o:p>

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1682253009066_Maxwell.jpeg" alt="" width="640" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Glenn Maxwell (Photo Source : Twitter)</figcaption>

At number three, to keep up the momentum, we have Glenn Maxwell. The Royal Challengers have been able to bring the best out of Maxwell since his inclusion into the Bangalore-based franchise. Maxwell has been one of RCB’s saviors this season along with openers Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli.<o:p></o:p>

During the fourth week of the IPL, he played an attacking knock against a strong RR bowling lineup. He scored 77 runs from 44 balls at an impressive strike rate of 175. Alongside Faf, he was able to push the team to a strong total of 189.<o:p></o:p>

Even though he wasn’t able to drag RCB to victory against Kolkata, Maxwell’s clean ball striking ability enables him to find a spot in this lineup. With an attacking mindset, he can tear apart any bowling lineup. Apart from that, Maxwell can chip in with a couple of overs if a bowler is having a bad day.<o:p></o:p>

4. Suryakumar Yadav (MI)<o:p></o:p>

Suryakumar has returned to form and it is a piece of great news for the fans, especially the Indian Cricket Team fans. Since the home series against Australia, Suryakumar was struggling against a strong bowling lineup. This affected his performance during the initial games in the Indian Premier League as well.<o:p></o:p>

However, since the game against Kolkata, Suryakumar has found his form. This week as well, he scored a brisk 57 runs from 26 balls against Punjab Kings. A strike rate of 219.23 was really impressive from the stylish batter against a motivated Punjab bowling lineup.<o:p></o:p>

Later in the week, during an away game against the defending champions, the Mumbai batters struggled. But, this was not the case with Suryakumar as he was able to score at a strike rate of 191.66. Suryakumar was able to score 23 runs from 12 balls but this was not enough for them to get over the line.<o:p></o:p>

5. Shivam Dube (CSK)<o:p></o:p>

Chennai Super Kings have been able to perform consistently this season. This is a great sign as they were lacking consistency in 2022. The Men in Yellow were trying to build a team for the future and it didn’t pay off in the last season.<o:p></o:p>

However, this time, the batters have clicked, and the bowlers have been performing decently. Amongst the batters, Shivam Dube has been consistent as he has scored with a brilliant strike rate when the team needed him to perform well. Against KKR, he scored a 21-ball 50 at a strike rate of 238.09.<o:p></o:p>

Later on, against RR, he smashed a 33-ball 52 with four sixes to his name. The best thing about Shivam is that usually, he smashes more sixes than fours in his knocks. Being a big hitter, he can be used anywhere in the lineup and is a bankable name in the team.<o:p></o:p>

6. Rinku Singh (KKR)<o:p></o:p>

Ever since his heroics against GT, Rinku Singh has become a household name. The southpaw has been KKR’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) this season. Well, thankfully, he has continued his form in the fourth week of the IPL as well.<o:p></o:p>

During a difficult run chase against CSK, Rinku ran out of partners as KKR lost the game by 49 runs. However, Rinku (alongside Roy) was the silver lining for KKR as he smashed 53 runs from 33 balls. His ball striking ability was on full display during that match.<o:p></o:p>

Later in the week, he was once again smashing the bowlers as he managed to provide a decent finish to the innings. Rinku smashed 18 from 10 balls against RCB and his contribution shifted the momentum towards the Knight Riders as they were able to pick up an important victory. For this lineup, Rinku is the prominent finisher thanks to his flawless batting in the death overs.<o:p></o:p>

7. Sam Curran (PBKS) (C)

The fans got an experience of what the future of PBKS will look like, thanks to some spirited performances from the newly added players. There has been a shift in momentum for the Punjab Kings as Sam Curran took up the role of captaincy as Shikhar Dhawan was injured.<o:p></o:p>

Curran was spot on during the game against the five-time champions. He managed to change the momentum during the middle overs of the innings and this helped batters like Jitesh Sharma to provide a smooth finish to the innings. The English all-rounder managed to score 55 runs from 29 balls against MI.<o:p></o:p>

Later on, during the second half of the game, he was rotating the bowlers well, showcasing fine captaincy. Curran displayed a great example of leadership as his bowlers were able to restrict a strong MI lineup to 201/6. Thanks to his leadership and all-around skills, Curran makes it to this lineup as the captain too.<o:p></o:p>

8. Ravindra Jadeja (CSK)<o:p></o:p>

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1682143544313_Ravindra-Jadeja.jpeg" alt="" width="640" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Caption</figcaption>

The backbone of CSK makes it to the list as another all-rounder who can change the course of the game within a few overs. Talk about fielding, bowling, or finishing the game, Jadeja has all the arsenal in the world to call himself one of the best all-rounders in the game at the moment. He has been so effective that CSK haven’t been affected by the absence of Stokes in the lineup.<o:p></o:p>

He was in full form during the game against SRH as he won the Player of the Match award because of his excellent spell. In his four overs, Jadeja picked up three wickets by giving away just 22 runs. Later on, during the game against Kolkata, he picked up the wicket of the dangerous Nitish Rana.<o:p></o:p>

Jadeja also picked up the wicket of the dangerous Jos Buttler in the clash against RR. This was a crucial breakthrough as Buttler can tear apart any bowling lineup in the game. The presence of Jadeja brings more stability to this lineup and hence, he is our prominent spin-bowling all-rounder.<o:p></o:p>

9. Mohammed Siraj (RCB)<o:p></o:p>

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1681566333634_Mohammed-Siraj.jpeg" alt="" width="640" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Mohammed Siraj. (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL)</figcaption>

This year, we are witnessing a different <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/i-have-apologized-to-him-twice-already-mohammed-siraj-on-hurling-abuse-towards-mahipal-lomror-during-rcb-rr-clash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohammed Siraj</a> as he is the lead bowler in a considerably weak RCB bowling lineup. Even though the bowling attack looks thin, Siraj’s contribution has helped RCB to pick up crucial wickets during the delicate phases of the match. His in-swinging deliveries have out-foxed many batters and this makes him a threat.<o:p></o:p>

During the home game against RR, Siraj picked up the wicket of Jos Buttler in the first over itself. It was a brilliant delivery as he managed to find the gap and rattle the stumps. For any bowler, Chinnaswamy is a difficult ground to bowl, but Siraj has been able to strike for his captain regularly.<o:p></o:p>

Later on, Siraj was able to bowl decently at the death overs as well against KKR. He managed to pick up the wicket of Andre Russell in the match. Even though his economy rate is a bit high, one needs to take into consideration that Chinnaswamy has small dimensions and it is a batter’s paradise.<o:p></o:p>

10. Mohit Sharma (GT)<o:p></o:p>

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1682171899991_Mohit-Sharma.jpeg" alt="" width="640" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Mohit Sharma. (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL)</figcaption>

From being the net bowler to becoming a death-over bowler, Mohit Sharma has found redemption. Sharma is well known for his slower balls and his ability to deceive the batters. This time, he has been able to do the same and win matches for Gujarat Titans.<o:p></o:p>

During the game against LSG, Sharma pulled off a miracle as they were able to defend 135 runs. Sharma picked up the wickets of KL Rahul and Marcus Stoinis to change the course of the game. In three overs, he gave away just 17 runs and picked up two wickets.<o:p></o:p>

His contribution enabled him to become the Player of the Match in the game versus LSG. Later during that week, he had a decent outing against MI as he picked two wickets in his spell. Being a death-over specialist, he makes it to the lineup as he can seriously derail the momentum of the opposition.<o:p></o:p>

Arshdeep Singh (PBKS)<o:p></o:p>

Slowly and steadily, Arshdeep is taking up the place which was once held by Zaheer Khan. As the left-arm pacer is already a regular member of the national side, he is now showing the world why is a force to reckon with. His death-over bowling skills were full-on display against MI during the fourth week of the IPL.<o:p></o:p>

As they were chasing a huge target of 214, MI were attacking from the word go. Well, to stop the rampage from MI, PBKS needed something special from their go-to bowler. Thankfully, Arshdeep was there to handle the matter.<o:p></o:p>

In his four overs, he picked up four wickets by giving away just 29 runs. During his spell, he broke the stump twice and was able to pick up crucial wickets of Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tikal Verma, and Nehal Wadhera. There is no doubt that Arshdeep is an excellent bowler for any stage of the game and his presence in this lineup brings some more stability for the backend of the inning.<o:p></o:p>

Devon Conway, Jason Roy, and Mohammed Siraj

For any bowler, Chinnaswamy is a difficult ground to bowl, but Siraj has been able to strike for his captain regularly.<o:p></o:p>
Later on, Siraj was able to bowl decently at the death overs as well against KKR. He managed to pick up the wicket of Andre Russell in the match. Even though his economy rate is a bit high, one needs to take into consideration that Chinnaswamy has small dimensions and it is a batter’s paradise.<o:p></o:p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">10. Mohit Sharma (GT)<o:p></o:p></h3>

From being the net bowler to becoming a death-over bowler, Mohit Sharma has found redemption. Sharma is well known for his slower balls and his ability to deceive the batters. This time, he has been able to do the same and win matches for Gujarat Titans.<o:p></o:p>
During the game against LSG, Sharma pulled off a miracle as they were able to defend 135 runs. Sharma picked up the wickets of KL Rahul and Marcus Stoinis to change the course of the game. In three overs, he gave away just 17 runs and picked up two wickets.<o:p></o:p>
His contribution enabled him to become the Player of the Match in the game versus LSG. Later during that week, he had a decent outing against MI as he picked two wickets in his spell. Being a death-over specialist, he makes it to the lineup as he can seriously derail the momentum of the opposition.<o:p></o:p>
Arshdeep Singh (PBKS)<o:p></o:p>

Slowly and steadily, Arshdeep is taking up the place which was once held by Zaheer Khan. As the left-arm pacer is already a regular member of the national side, he is now showing the world why is a force to reckon with. His death-over bowling skills were full-on display against MI during the fourth week of the IPL.<o:p></o:p>
As they were chasing a huge target of 214, MI were attacking from the word go. Well, to stop the rampage from MI, PBKS needed something special from their go-to bowler. Thankfully, Arshdeep was there to handle the matter.<o:p></o:p>
In his four overs, he picked up four wickets by giving away just 29 runs. During his spell, he broke the stump twice and was able to pick up crucial wickets of Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tikal Verma, and Nehal Wadhera. There is no doubt that Arshdeep is an excellent bowler for any stage of the game and his presence in this lineup brings some more stability for the backend of the inning.<o:p></o:p>

The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League</a> is in the midst of an exciting and closely contested season. With the tournament now at its halfway stage, all of the teams are evenly poised, meaning that every match from here on will be crucial in determining the final standings.<o:p></o:p>
Week four was all about the bottom-placed team Delhi Capitals finding their mojo and making a much-needed comeback. While for the Chennai Super Kings, they were able to put up some solid performance this week. Mumbai Indians have been struggling a bit as their bowlers and batters haven’t clicked together while Gujarat Titans pulled off a miracle this week against Lucknow Super Giants, thanks to Mohit Sharma<o:p></o:p>
Surprisingly, we might have seen Punjab’s future captain in Sam Curran as he was the one leading from the front for the team int he absence of regulas skipper Shikhar Dhawan. Talking about <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitter-reactions-cricket/twitter-reactions-kolkata-knight-riders-end-rcbs-winning-streak-to-get-back-to-winning-ways/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kolkata Knight Riders</a>, they were able to make a decent comeback against teh Royal Challengers Bangalore in Chinnaswamy. Talking about other teams, LSG have been struggling because of their top order and Sunrisers Hyderabad need to pull their socks up.<o:p></o:p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Let us have a look at the best XI from the fourth week of the IPL 2023:<o:p></o:p></h2>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">1. Devon Conway (CSK)&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></h3>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1682097080972_Devon-Conway.jpeg" alt="" width="640" loading="lazy">

Devon Conway has somehow been successful in filling the void that Mike Hussey had left in the CSK camp. His ability to play the role of anchor has helped batters like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube to play their natural game. In the fourth week of the IPL, the CSK management backed him like they always have, and the efforts finally paid off.<o:p></o:p>
During the home game against SRH, Conway scored a fluent 77 from 57 balls at an impressive strike rate of 135.08. Later on, he scored 56 runs from 40 balls versus KKR wherein he stitched an excellent partnership with Ajinkya Rahane. His consistency in finding the gaps and rotating the strike is a huge asset for CSK.<o:p></o:p>
Even though he failed to perform as per expectations in the away game against RR, he has been a successful contributor to the franchise. His temperament is solid as he has been able to take up responsibility when Gaikwad fails to perform. Hence, he opens the lineup in this playing XI to take up the role of the anchor.<o:p></o:p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">2. Jason Roy (KKR)<o:p></o:p></h3>

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/ipl-2023-jason-roy-fined-10-match-fees-for-code-of-conduct-breach-in-rcb-vs-kkr-clash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jason Roy</a> has been the ideal opener for the Kolkata Knight Riders in this edition of the IPL. Even after being an established opener for the English side, lack of support from franchises in the IPL never enabled him to showcase his skills in the toughest T20 league. But now, it looks like he has found his mojo in the IPL.<o:p></o:p>
During the home game against the Chennai Super Kings, Roy was sent in at number six, which is unusual for a batter like him. Well, it never bothered him as he scored a magnificent 61 from just 26 balls. But this was not enough as KKR’s batting stumbled against a strong spin attack.<o:p></o:p>
After a home defeat, KKR travelled down to the south to face RCB. Here, things were a bit different as Roy was given the chance to open the attack. He scored a quick 56 off 29 balls to ensure that KKR were off to a good start. This time, the men in purple were able to cross the line as KKR won by 21 runs.<o:p></o:p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">3. Glenn Maxwell (RCB)<o:p></o:p></h3>

</figure>
At number three, to keep up the momentum, we have Glenn Maxwell. The Royal Challengers have been able to bring the best out of Maxwell since his inclusion into the Bangalore-based franchise. Maxwell has been one of RCB’s saviors this season along with openers Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli.<o:p></o:p>
During the fourth week of the IPL, he played an attacking knock against a strong RR bowling lineup. He scored 77 runs from 44 balls at an impressive strike rate of 175. Alongside Faf, he was able to push the team to a strong total of 189.<o:p></o:p>
Even though he wasn’t able to drag RCB to victory against Kolkata, Maxwell’s clean ball striking ability enables him to find a spot in this lineup. With an attacking mindset, he can tear apart any bowling lineup. Apart from that, Maxwell can chip in with a couple of overs if a bowler is having a bad day.<o:p></o:p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">4. Suryakumar Yadav (MI)<o:p></o:p></h3>

</figure>
Suryakumar has returned to form and it is a piece of great news for the fans, especially the Indian Cricket Team fans. Since the home series against Australia, Suryakumar was struggling against a strong bowling lineup. This affected his performance during the initial games in the Indian Premier League as well.<o:p></o:p>
However, since the game against Kolkata, Suryakumar has found his form. This week as well, he scored a brisk 57 runs from 26 balls against Punjab Kings. A strike rate of 219.23 was really impressive from the stylish batter against a motivated Punjab bowling lineup.<o:p></o:p>
Later in the week, during an away game against the defending champions, the Mumbai batters struggled. But, this was not the case with Suryakumar as he was able to score at a strike rate of 191.66. Suryakumar was able to score 23 runs from 12 balls but this was not enough for them to get over the line.<o:p></o:p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">5. Shivam Dube (CSK)<o:p></o:p></h3>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1682686062891_Shivam.jpeg" alt="" width="640" loading="lazy">

</figure>
Chennai Super Kings have been able to perform consistently this season. This is a great sign as they were lacking consistency in 2022. The Men in Yellow were trying to build a team for the future and it didn’t pay off in the last season.<o:p></o:p>
However, this time, the batters have clicked, and the bowlers have been performing decently. Amongst the batters, Shivam Dube has been consistent as he has scored with a brilliant strike rate when the team needed him to perform well. Against KKR, he scored a 21-ball 50 at a strike rate of 238.09.<o:p></o:p>
Later on, against RR, he smashed a 33-ball 52 with four sixes to his name. The best thing about Shivam is that usually, he smashes more sixes than fours in his knocks. Being a big hitter, he can be used anywhere in the lineup and is a bankable name in the team.<o:p></o:p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">6. Rinku Singh (KKR)<o:p></o:p></h3>

</figure>
Ever since his heroics against GT, Rinku Singh has become a household name. The southpaw has been KKR’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) this season. Well, thankfully, he has continued his form in the fourth week of the IPL as well.<o:p></o:p>
During a difficult run chase against CSK, Rinku ran out of partners as KKR lost the game by 49 runs. However, Rinku (alongside Roy) was the silver lining for KKR as he smashed 53 runs from 33 balls. His ball striking ability was on full display during that match.<o:p></o:p>
Later in the week, he was once again smashing the bowlers as he managed to provide a decent finish to the innings. Rinku smashed 18 from 10 balls against RCB and his contribution shifted the momentum towards the Knight Riders as they were able to pick up an important victory. For this lineup, Rinku is the prominent finisher thanks to his flawless batting in the death overs.<o:p></o:p>
<h3>7. Sam Curran (PBKS) (C)</h3>

</figure>
The fans got an experience of what the future of PBKS will look like, thanks to some spirited performances from the newly added players. There has been a shift in momentum for the Punjab Kings as Sam Curran took up the role of captaincy as Shikhar Dhawan was injured.<o:p></o:p>
Curran was spot on during the game against the five-time champions. He managed to change the momentum during the middle overs of the innings and this helped batters like Jitesh Sharma to provide a smooth finish to the innings. The English all-rounder managed to score 55 runs from 29 balls against MI.<o:p></o:p>
Later on, during the second half of the game, he was rotating the bowlers well, showcasing fine captaincy. Curran displayed a great example of leadership as his bowlers were able to restrict a strong MI lineup to 201/6. Thanks to his leadership and all-around skills, Curran makes it to this lineup as the captain too.<o:p></o:p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">8. Ravindra Jadeja (CSK)<o:p></o:p></h3>

<figcaption>Caption</figcaption>
</figure>
The backbone of CSK makes it to the list as another all-rounder who can change the course of the game within a few overs. Talk about fielding, bowling, or finishing the game, Jadeja has all the arsenal in the world to call himself one of the best all-rounders in the game at the moment. He has been so effective that CSK haven’t been affected by the absence of Stokes in the lineup.<o:p></o:p>
He was in full form during the game against SRH as he won the Player of the Match award because of his excellent spell. In his four overs, Jadeja picked up three wickets by giving away just 22 runs. Later on, during the game against Kolkata, he picked up the wicket of the dangerous Nitish Rana.<o:p></o:p>
Jadeja also picked up the wicket of the dangerous Jos Buttler in the clash against RR. This was a crucial breakthrough as Buttler can tear apart any bowling lineup in the game. The presence of Jadeja brings more stability to this lineup and hence, he is our prominent spin-bowling all-rounder.<o:p></o:p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">9. Mohammed Siraj (RCB)<o:p></o:p></h3>

</figure>
This year, we are witnessing a different <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/i-have-apologized-to-him-twice-already-mohammed-siraj-on-hurling-abuse-towards-mahipal-lomror-during-rcb-rr-clash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohammed Siraj</a> as he is the lead bowler in a considerably weak RCB bowling lineup. Even though the bowling attack looks thin, Siraj’s contribution has helped RCB to pick up crucial wickets during the delicate phases of the match. His in-swinging deliveries have out-foxed many batters and this makes him a threat.<o:p></o:p>
During the home game against RR, Siraj picked up the wicket of Jos Buttler in the first over itself. It was a brilliant delivery as he managed to find the gap and rattle the stumps. For any bowler, Chinnaswamy is a difficult ground to bowl, but Siraj has been able to strike for his captain regularly.<o:p></o:p>
Later on, Siraj was able to bowl decently at the death overs as well against KKR. He managed to pick up the wicket of Andre Russell in the match. Even though his economy rate is a bit high, one needs to take into consideration that Chinnaswamy has small dimensions and it is a batter’s paradise.<o:p></o:p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">10. Mohit Sharma (GT)<o:p></o:p></h3>

From being the net bowler to becoming a death-over bowler, Mohit Sharma has found redemption. Sharma is well known for his slower balls and his ability to deceive the batters. This time, he has been able to do the same and win matches for Gujarat Titans.<o:p></o:p>
During the game against LSG, Sharma pulled off a miracle as they were able to defend 135 runs. Sharma picked up the wickets of KL Rahul and Marcus Stoinis to change the course of the game. In three overs, he gave away just 17 runs and picked up two wickets.<o:p></o:p>
His contribution enabled him to become the Player of the Match in the game versus LSG. Later during that week, he had a decent outing against MI as he picked two wickets in his spell. Being a death-over specialist, he makes it to the lineup as he can seriously derail the momentum of the opposition.<o:p></o:p>
Arshdeep Singh (PBKS)<o:p></o:p>

Slowly and steadily, Arshdeep is taking up the place which was once held by Zaheer Khan. As the left-arm pacer is already a regular member of the national side, he is now showing the world why is a force to reckon with. His death-over bowling skills were full-on display against MI during the fourth week of the IPL.<o:p></o:p>
As they were chasing a huge target of 214, MI were attacking from the word go. Well, to stop the rampage from MI, PBKS needed something special from their go-to bowler. Thankfully, Arshdeep was there to handle the matter.<o:p></o:p>
In his four overs, he picked up four wickets by giving away just 29 runs. During his spell, he broke the stump twice and was able to pick up crucial wickets of Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tikal Verma, and Nehal Wadhera. There is no doubt that Arshdeep is an excellent bowler for any stage of the game and his presence in this lineup brings some more stability for the backend of the inning.<o:p></o:p>
