The second week of IPL 2021 is over and some interesting aspects are beginning to emerge. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have continued their great run from week 1 and remain on top of the points table. They are the only unbeaten side in the tournament after four games, winning all their matches so far. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have also been impressive. They are at the second spot with three wins followed by Delhi Capitals, who have also won the same number of games. In a familiar story, Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) are languishing at the bottom. Here’s our IPL 2021 team for week 2.

OPENERS: SHIKHAR DHAWAN (C) AND DEVDUTT PADIKKAL

DC opener Shikhar Dhawan has been in sensational form for the franchise. He struck a match-winning 92 against PBKS to ease the team home in the chase. Against MI as well, he made a crucial 45 after Prithvi Shaw fell early. He is also being given the honour of leading the team of the week.
