IPL 2018: Super moments of the Super Kings

#7 Rayudu breaks the 100-barrier

Rayudu repaid the faith of the Chennai management

He was one of the vital cogs in a successful Mumbai Indians franchise for years, but never progressed up the order. With the Chennai Super Kings, he got a spot at the top and proved what an asset he can be in the powerplays, scoring runs for fun at a consistency few could manage.

He even broke the 100-run barrier after coming close on a couple of occasions, saving his best against the best bowling attack of the IPL, the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

#8 Ngidi turns Pune into Durban

Ngidi broke the back of the Punjab batting

MS Dhoni had no qualms in admitting that he was impressed with Lungi Ngidi ever since he faced him in South Africa. He literally toyed with the Punjab batting at Pune, turning the MCA stadium into Kingsmead, and finished with figures of 4-10.

He swung the ball both ways, hitting the deck hard and breathing fire, his spell ensuring that Punjab did not qualify for the playoffs. The coming good of the South African at a crucial stage typified how each player was ready to bring out his best when it mattered.
