DC have already qualified for this year's Playoffs and one of the main reasons for that has been the performance of Kagiso Rabada with the ball. The South African is Shreyas Iyer's go-to man in any situation and his ability to pick wickets makes him very dangerous.

The current Purple Cap list leader has picked up a total of 25 wickets at an average of 14. That's how good he has been, picking up a wicket almost every two overs. Also, most of his wickets have come on that Feroz Shah Kotla wicket which supports spin more than pace.

The young South African is currently considered one of the very best fast bowlers in the world and he is going to remain very important to DC's chances of winning their first ever IPL.


#1 Chennai Super Kings - MS Dhoni

There were two choices in MS Dhoni and Imran Tahir for this one but one has to go with Captain Cool and there are two reasons for it; first - Dhoni has scored most of his runs on that MA Chidambaram wicket which assists spin, second - his average this year is better than many players' strike rate.

Dhoni also has not played every game in the group stage for CSK but in his 8 innings, he has scored a total of 358 runs at an astonishing average of almost 120. The master finisher has been returning not out for most occasions and don't undermine his presence behind those stumps.

This form of the former Indian captain is going to please the current Indian captain as India continue their struggles of finding a dependable middle order in the World Cup.
