Lalit Yadav (Delhi Capitals)
Lalit Yadav played the innings of his life with an unbeaten 48 to propel a depleted Delhi Capitals in their season opener with a stunning four-wicket win over Mumbai Indians here on Sunday.
Chasing a challenging 178, Delhi were 72/5 inside 10 overs but the lesser-known Delhi all-rounder Yadav stayed calm during his 38-ball unbeaten knock to take his side home. Yadav smashed four boundaries and two sixes, while Axar Patel had two fours and three maximums as the duo stitched a match-winning 75-run partnership from 30 balls for the seventh wicket.
Basil Thampi (Mumbai Indians)
Kerala fast bowler Basil Thampi made his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians on Saturday and bowled tremendously in his very first match. Thampi hopes to do something similar in the upcoming matches as well.
Against Delhi Capitals, captain Rohit Sharma showed confidence in Basil Thampi and he proved the trust shown in him completely right. Thampi took 3 important wickets in the form of Prithvi Shaw, Rovman Powell and Shardul Thakur.
After the match, Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene named the fast bowler the player of the match in the dressing room for his bowling figures of 3/35.

Ayush Badoni (Lucknow Super Giants)
Scripting his debut in the cash-rich league in splendid fashion, 22-year-old Indian batter Ayush Badoni headlined the game with his remarkable display in the Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans match, by smashing an impeccable half-century. Coming in to bat at the sixth position for Lucknow, as the team was hanging on 29/4 in the fifth over, Badoni played a perfect wingman to Deepak Hooda before taking over the baton and smashing his individual half-century
Akash Deep (Royal Challengers Bangalore)
Akash Deep was one of the star performers for RCB with the ball in their second fixture against KKR, claiming three wickets for 45 runs. He hit the pitch hard and was rewarded with the scalps of Venkatesh Iyer and Nitish Rana.
Although a similar ploy did not come off for him against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the same venue (DY Patil Stadium), the 25-year-old asserted that he was confident of executing his short-ball skills against KKR.
