IPL 2018, Week 5, Review - Best XI of the Week

8. Mujeeb Rahman – Kings XI Punjab

Mujeeb ur Rahman is one of the most impressive young cricketers in the IPL this season. Rahman has featured in every game for the Kings XI Punjab in the tournament and has looked very good with the ball. He has been a key part of the KXIP resurgence in the season. In the recent week, Mujeeb continued his good work with the ball.

In the match against the Rajasthan Royals, he scalped 3/27 to break the back of the Royals innings. He was the top performer for his side with the ball. In the other game against the Royals in Jaipur, he again finished with highly economical numbers of 2/21 in the four overs that he bowled.

9. Ravindra Jadeja – Chennai Super Kings

When the 2018 edition of the Indian Premier League had reached the half way stage, a lot of people questioned the place of Ravindra Jadeja in the team of Chennai Super Kings. The CSK skipper, MS Dhoni, did not give Jadeja his complete quota of overs, neither did the southpaw get a lot of opportunities with the bat. But as the tournament progressed, Jadeja started getting a bigger role to play in the matches for the Super Kings.

In the previous week of the tournament, he came up with his best performance in the tournament. Jadeja scalped 3/18 in the match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. This included the big wicket of Virat Kohli. He backed it up with another decent bowling spell against the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur where he finished with numbers of 1/28 in his spell.
