IPL 2018: The surprise package from each team

The Indian Premier League is now heading into its most interesting part, the final half where the teams fight for every point. Teams like the Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kings XI Punjab have dominated the league to a certain extent whereas, the other teams haven't managed to set the tournament on fire.

All the teams have found some unexpected match-winners. It hasn't been all about the star performers and a few of the other players have risen to the occasion.

Here's a look at the surprise package from each team so far, in this edition of IPL.

Ambati Rayudu (Chennai Super Kings)

Ambati Rayudu has been in the form of his life, in this edition of Indian Premier League. He has scored 391 runs in 9 matches at a phenomenal strike rate of 154. The Guntur-born player has made a strong case for a comeback into the Indian side. He has scored runs both in the middle order and while opening the inning for the Chennai Super Kings.

He wasn't a guaranteed starter in the playing XI at the start of the tournament but he is now the Orange Cap holder. He might be in the Indian team after the conclusion of this year's IPL.
