The most impressive aspect of Bhuvneshwar Kumar's bowling this term has been the increase in pacer. From bowling in the mid 120 km/hr range, the right-armer is now consistently hitting the mid 130 km/hr range, without losing his main weapon - swing. His 9 wickets from six games has been a major factor in resurgence of SRH.

Rohit Sharma continued to dominate the IPL. The right-hander failed to impress in the WT20 after a stellar show in Australia at the start of the year. However, the 29-year-old was back to his best as skipper of the Mumbai Indians. Rohit's batting at the top of the innings is effortless yet brutal.
