In spot light

Waqas Maqsood (Delhi Bulls, Bowler)

Waqas Maqsood has played only one game, but he bowled the most economical spell in the tournament’s history; 2 overs, 1 run and a wicket along with a maiden. In such format, that is simply incredible. With two wins, Waqas will be asked to keep bowling those spells so that Bulls can be the first team to qualify the T10 playoffs.

Zahoor Khan (Deccan Gladiators, Bowler)

Once again, the young Zahoor Khan comes in the spot light. Joint-highest wicket taker of this season of T10, Zahoor has been excellent while also being on of the few bowlers to have an economy rate under ten. In the Super League stage where winning will matter the most, especially for the teams who haven’t carried much points forward, Zahoor will need some support from batsmen to score.
