IPL 2019: Best Indian XI from first two weeks
These players have been shining for their respective teams this season.
8. Shreyas Gopal (RR)
Shreyas Gopal has been very impressive this season. He’s been Rajasthan Royals’ best bowler so far in the tournament. He did go wicketless in one game but in the other matches, he’s been right on the money. He bowled just one over in the game against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) but once he got the ball for a longer time, the leggie made an impact.
He picked up 3/27 against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) before producing one of the spells of the tournament so far. Gopal took 3/12 against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Jaipur. He got the big wickets of Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Shimron Hetmyer. This is the second time Gopal has dismissed the two big guns of RCB in the same innings. The Karnataka leggie has a great knack of picking up big wickets.
He was a tad expensive in the game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) but was the only wicket-taker for the Royals in the game. Hence, he has 8 wickets so far in the tournament at an average of 12.75 and an economy of 6.37.
