While there have been some foreign cricketing behemoths who have set the IPL on fire, there have been some Indian cricketing stalwarts who have produced scintillating performances as well. In this article, let us take a look at 3 Indian players who have impressed the most in the 2021 edition of the IPL thus far.
3. Shikhar Dhawan
One of the main reasons why the Delhi Capitals are comfortably sitting at the 3rd place in the IPL points table is because of Shikhar Dhawan’s exploits with the willow. The 35-year-old has provided the Rishabh Pant led side excellent starts at the top of the order. Dhawan has played 6 innings in the 2021 IPL edition and has scored 265 runs at an average of 44.17. The left-hander has also scored 2 fifties in the tournament.
2. Harshal Patel

Patel has played 6 matches in the 2021 IPL edition thus far and has scalped a whopping 17 wickets at an average of just 12.00. He has picked up a five-wicket haul as well.
1. Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja has been the best player of the 2021 edition of the IPL thus far. Be it his cameos with the bat, his wicket-taking ability with the ball, or his stunning direct hits, Jadeja has not put a foot wrong in the 14th edition of the IPL.
And, he has the numbers in his favour as well. Jadeja averages 109.00 with the bat this year and has scored his runs at a strike rate of 184.75.
