IPL 10: Top 5 Impact Players from the League stage

IPL has been an excellent platform for the players to showcase their impact on the world stage. It gives ample opportunities for the domestic players to showcase their potentials to the national selectors, as well as provides an opportunity to make a strong statement if you’re a veteran overseas player.

Many want to compete in the tournament but very few manage to create the necessary impact in the tourney. Hashim Amla screamed a couple of golden centuries but ended up on the losing side on both occasions. But there are few players who did not score even half of what Warner did, but was instrumental in taking their side home.

The likes of Chris Morris, Rishabh Pant, and Rahul Tripathi missed out narrowly on this list but here are the 5 players who stood out for their respective teams.

Rashid Khan

Tom Moody, VVS Laxman, and Muttiah Muralitharan have heavily invested their trust on the 18-year-old Afghan Rashid Khan, who out of nowhere from his motherland Afghanistan grabbed all the limelight as he gave a stiff competition to his teammate Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Rashid Khan provided the Sunrisers with the much-needed breakthroughs in the middle overs, breaking the backbone of the batting lineup by chipping in continuously in every match. He was also instrumental in stemming the flow of runs during the key moments in the game.

Rashid Khan has already taken 17 wickets in the tournament at an exceptional economy of 6.6. He will only rise in the wickets tally as Moody & co. would hope that their team would play at least three games more.
