IPL 2016: 5 unsung heroes from the tournament so far
Every year the Indian Premier League witnesses some magnificent performers showcasing their tremendous performances which elevate the status of the tournament to a new high.
Some of the stalwarts of international cricket have graced the tournament with their exceptional performances over the years and this year too the story hasn’t been any different.
However, the Indian Premier League is a platform for unearthing youngsters too and has seen some performers doing their job efficiently without really taking up the limelight from the other big named players.
This year’s IPL has seen performers perform on the field when no one really expected them to do much. Let’s talk about 5 such unsung heroes in the tournament so far.
Ambati Rayudu
The talented Mumbai Indians middle-order batsman has been a silent performer for the Mumbai franchise over the years and he has often bailed the team out of trouble on many occasions.
He is one of the pillars of that Mumbai batting order and in this season too he has been doing his job admirably. Rayudu is the second highest run-getter after Rohit Sharma for the Mumbai team this season. He has already scored 217 runs at an average of 36.16 in the 7 games he has played.
Well, it is always the Pollards or the Sharmas who get all the accolades, but someone like Rayudu should also be credited for what he has done for the team. In the last match too, it was his partnership with Parthiv Patel that changed the course of the game as Mumbai registered their 3rd win of the tournament
