With the playoffs, the most exciting phase of the league kicks off. Chennai, Mumbai; Rajasthan and Bangalore are the 4 teams who have made the cut ahead of the other 4, who stayed at the bottom of the table. Since T20 is a game that deviates in a real quick space of time, here we have one player from each team who will have the maximum impact on the outcome of the game.

The Players to watch out for in the Play-Offs: IPL 8

Chennai Super Kings &#8211; Dwayne Bravo:

With 20 wickets in just 14 matches Bravo has become a major asset for CSK, especially in the death over’s. The current Purple Cap holder has managed to pick up wickets at crucial times for the table toppers. He also possesses the ability to affect a game with his bat very quickly and his batting may come in handy in the Playoffs. Bravo’s batting hasn&#8217;t been consistent so far, but he has been very consistent with his bowling. Watch out for not only more wickets but also some more entertaining dance moves from the West Indian in the Play-Offs. Notable Contender- Suresh Raina

Rajasthan Royals &#8211; Shane Watson:

(Photo Source: BCCI)</figcaption>

Watson was missing in the first few games of IPL 8 but has made an instant impact since his return from injury. A century in his last game took RR to the Play-Offs and his confidence will be sky high. Other RR players have shone intermittently throughout the tournament except in-form Rahane. Watson has been a key player for the Royals since the first IPL and it looks like he still remains the most important member of the team. Notable Contender- Ajinkya Rahane

Mumbai Indians &#8211; Rohit Sharma:

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/04/Rohit-Sharma-in-IPL8.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-16266 size-medium" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Rohit-Sharma-in-IPL8-300x201.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma MI" width="300" height="201" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-16266" class="wp-caption-text">Rohit Sharma MI. (Photo Source: BCCI)</figcaption>

Rohit has had a decent tournament so far but he still remains a very key player for MI. He can open; bat in the middle over’s and can also finish the innings. That makes him the most dangerous batsman in the MI line up. Although Simmons and Parthiv Patel have shared the responsibility of runs in recent games, Rohit&#8217;s ability to change the game in just a few balls make him a big threat to opposing teams. Malinga and McClenaghan have also had a good season with the ball so far but Rohit Sharma remains the player to watch out for. Notable contender &#8211; Lendl Simmons

Royal Challengers Bangalore &#8211; Mitchell Starc:

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/05/Mitchell-Starc-RCB-IPL-2015.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-18742 size-medium" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Mitchell-Starc-RCB-IPL-2015-197x300.jpg" alt="Mitchell Starc RCB" width="197" height="300" sizes="(max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-18742" class="wp-caption-text">Mitchell Starc RCB. (Photo Source: BCCI)</figcaption>

The most difficult choice to make is in the star studded RCB line up. While AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle can destroy any opposition team single handedly on their day and Virat Kohli can steady the ship and provide some much needed solidity to the innings, Starc&#8217;s dependable performances this season makes him the deadliest bowler to face. Man of the Series in the recently concluded World Cup, Starc has been an instant hit with the RCB since joining the team. 18 wickets in 11 games makes him an obvious danger and one can pretty much bet that Starc will pick up crucial wickets in any game he plays, on his current form. Notable contender &#8211; Virat Kohli
