IPL 2018: One surprise performer from each side

Mumbai Indians - Mayank Markande

Mayank Markande

Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya have been Mumbai Indians' pillars of strengths with both bat and ball this season as they have amassed 435 runs and 16 wickets respectively in 11 matches this season. These two were expected to play a crucial role for Rohit Sharma and co. in the IPL but they have surely punched above their weight.

But, neither of them were surprise performers for Mumbai this season when compared to Mayank Markande, a relatively unknown leg-spinner before the start of the IPL, who has1 created a lot of buzz with his bowling.

With 14 wickets in 11 matches at an average of 20 and an economy of less than 8, Markande is joint-second in the list of bowlers with most wickets this season. Markande has impressed a lot of people with his performances in the tournament.
