IPL 2019: 10 Most Valuable Players of the Season

#6 Kagiso Rabada (Delhi Capitals)

Delhi Capitals have been consistently placed at bottom of the points table for the past few years. However, this year all that changed for them. A part of their huge success this year is owed to Kagiso Rabada.

The South African speedster spearheaded their bowling attack. He bowled beautifully in the death overs and picked up a lot of wickets. Rabada was the leading wicket-taker for most of the season.

Unfortunately, he got injured and returned to South Africa leaving his team vulnerable without a strike bowler. We all witnessed how Rabada’s absence affected the team in the playoffs.

He also lost his purple cap to Imran Tahir who played five more matches than him. Kagiso Rabada finished the season with 25 wickets from just 12 matches at an impressive economy rate of 7.82.

Delhi Capitals can only hope that Rabada retains his form when he returns to play for them next season.
