IPL 2018: Team of the Week 2

#8 Washington Sundar

The off-spinner finds a mention on this list not for his bowling exploits but for what he has done with the bat in hand over the past week. Last Sunday against the Rajasthan Royals, Sundar smashed a 19-ball 35.

Sundar has shown in the few matches that he has played that he can be effective with the ball, but if he can elevate his batting a bit then surely he would have solved a headache for Kohli in that lower middle-order.

#9 Tom Curran

The Englishman who has replaced Mitchell Starc in the KKR squad had a mixed week for his side as he first took 2-21 in the game against the Delhi Daredevils and then backed that spell with 2-19 against the Rajasthan Royals.

With the likes of Sunil Narine and Russell expected to the bulk of the work as the overseas players, Curran has an opportunity to back them and even make bigger contributions on days that they don't fire for the side.
