PROBABLE BEST BATSMAN OF THE MATCH
Deepak Chahar – Chennai Super Kings

Against the Rajasthan Royals, Chahar has picked up nine wickets from 20 overs. The speedster has an average and strike rate of 14.56 and 13.33 respectively. It is the best rate he has had against any other opposition.
PROBABLE BEST BOWLER OF THE MATCH
Jos Buttler – Rajasthan Royals
Jos Buttler has already showcased his talent and abilities in the IPL, but has yet to deliver a good score with his bat. But looking forward in the next game, he can be selected to be RR’s standout player. In the total five games, Buttler has notched 216 runs at an average rate of 72. If he manages to maintain the rates, he could help Rajasthan Royals to be in a strong place.
