Kagiso Rabada has always been amongst the wickets, and his best showing in IPL 2020 came against KXIP in a game that went to a Super Over. The South African picked up 2 wickets in the regulation innings, before dismissing captain KL Rahul and Nicholas Pooran in the one-over eliminator to bowl out KXIP for just 2 runs.

DC chased the target comfortably, and although Marcus Stoinis was adjudged the Man of the Match, Rabada had a massive role to play.

Mohammed Shami has admirably led the KXIP pace attack in IPL 2020, and he started off his excellent campaign so far with a 3-wicket haul against DC. He dismissed Prithvi Shaw and Shimron Hetmyer with well-directed short balls before returning to get rid of Shreyas Iyer, as his team restricted DC to just 157/8.

Although they would go on to lose the Super Over in which Shami had the impossible task of defending 3 runs, the Bengal pacer is fast morphing into a genuine contender for the IPL 2020 Purple Cap.

Much like previous years, Yuzvendra Chahal has almost single-handedly carried the RCB bowling attack in IPL 2020. The leg-spinner has managed to extract grip and turn from wickets that don't really offer much for the spinners, and has been next to impossible to consistently score runs off.

Chahal started off with an excellent spell of 3/15 against SRH that saw him win the Man of the Match. He had Manish Pandey caught at long-off before tempting Jonny Bairstow into an almighty heave that disturbed his timber. The crowning moment, however, came with the next ball, as he castled Vijay Shankar - an excellent player of spin - with a well-disguised googly.
