#4 Mohammad Nabi
You've got to be doing something really special to keep a guy of the caliber of Shakib Al Hasan out of the playing 11 in the IPL.
Shakib, who has been a veteran of the IPL, has found it difficult to slot himself into the SRH, given the slew of impressive performances delivered by Afghanistani all-rounder Mohammad Nabi.
Having got an opportunity to feature in this edition against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Nabi wasn't going to let it slip; and he didn't.
In a match that was marked by a record 185-run stand between Jonny Bairstow and David Warner, Nabi made his presence felt by claiming the prized scalps of AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli to effectively end RCB's challenge in the first six overs.
The wicket of de Villiers, especially, would have done Nabi proud as the Afghan spinner completely deceived the champion batsman with his guile to shatter his stumps.
Nabi claimed 4-11 and backed it up with figures of 2-21 [vs DC], once again claiming the crucial wickets of Shikhar Dhawan and Rishabh Pant to peg the Capitals' back. In 4 games thus far, Mohammad Nabi has claimed seven wickets at an average of 12.41 and a barely believable economy of 5.49.
#3 Warner-Bairstow mayhem
They might have missed out in the last couple of games, but their's no denying the fact that the duo of David Warner and Jonny Bairstow have lit up the tournament at the top of the order and have emerged as the most destructive opening partnerships in this years' IPL.
The duo's Magnus opium arrived during their record-breaking stand of 185 against the Royal Challengers' Bangalore with both Warner [100] and Bairstow [114] notching up individual tons which ended in a rare sight of an Englishman and an Australian hugging each other amidst a sea of orange.
This record-breaking stand was a third back-to-back hundred-run stand between David Warner and Jonny Bairstow; becoming the first pair in the history of the tournament to achieve the landmark.
