Ravichandran Ashwin, 2-2 DC v KXIP. He bowled one over and got injured. But what an over it was for the Delhi Capitals off-spinner. Two top-order wickets of Kings XI Punjab while defending 157-8 changed the complexion of the match. Unfortunately, hurt his shoulder and has been forced out. Sportzpics for BCCI
BEST BATTING: KL Rahul, 132 not out off 69 balls, KXIP v RCB: The highest score by an Indian batsman in the IPL. The Kings XI Punjab captain made the most of two dropped chances by his counterpart Virat Kohli as Punjab plundered 49 runs from the last two overs to post 206-3 and set up a comprehensive win in Dubai.

Mayank Agarwal, 106 off 50, KXIP v RR: Sharjah is the place to be for batsmen this IPL. The Kings XI Punjab opener hit a sublime century against Rajasthan Royals and helped post a mammoth 223-2. That effort was overshadowed by some scarcely believable hitting by Rajasthan batsman Rahul Tewatia. Even so, he showed that with good technique, even a supposed Test batsman can conquer T20 cricket.

Ishan Kishan, 99 off 58, MI v RCB. You will not see a better innings in a losing cause. The left-handed batsman smoked nine sixes against Royal Challengers in Dubai and nearly pulled off a miracle when 90 were needed from the last five overs. An innings of substance when the pressure was truly on. Sportzpics for BCCI
Sanju Samson, 74 off 32, RR v CSK: Rajasthan Royals' Samson is batting like a man possessed. His clean hitting has come to the fore in the batting paradise of Sharjah. He hit seven sixes while chasing 224 against Punjab the other night, which is sensational. But he had gone one better against Chennai Super Kings when he cracked nine sixes during his 32 ball stay. You don't need to run twos and threes if you can deposit it out of the park every third ball. Sportzpics for BCCI
Rahul Tewatia, 53 off 31, RR v KXIP: Arguably the innings of IPL 2020. He could barely get the ball off the square early on. He was on 17 from 23 balls when 51 were needed from three overs against Punjab in Sharjah. Then came that over against Sheldon Cottrell, where he smoked fives sixes and walked into the history books.

BEST BOWLING: Washington Sundar, 1-12 RCB v MI. When the opposition ends up scoring more than 200, and you give away just 12 from four overs as a finger spinner opening the bowling, no amount of praise is enough. Sundar even accounted for the dangerous Rohit Sharma. The best bowling effort in IPL 2020. Sportzpics for BCCI
Mohammad Shami, 3-15 KXIP v DC: Shami decimated Delhi Capital's top order on a helpful pitch in Dubai. That Punjab batsmen somehow made a meal of the chase and lost it in the resulting super over should take nothing away from a top class effort from Shami. Sportzpics / BCCI
Yuzvendra Chahal, 3-18 RCB v SRH. One of the few bright spots for Royal Challengers Bangalore this season, apart from the hammering he took from Mumbai's Kieron Pollard. The leg-spinner pulled things back brilliantly against Sunrisers Hyderabad; from being 121-2 chasing 164, the Sunrisers were bowled out for 153 with Chahal engineering the collapse at the top.

Kagiso Rabada, 3-26 DC v CSK. The Delhi Capitals quick has hit the ground running, proving his class in a super over win over Kings XI Punjab. But during regular time, it was his effort against Chennai Super Kings that stood out; his wickets included the dangerous Faf du Plessis, MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja with the first two caught behind.
