1. Top 10 IPL 2016 players
1. Virat Kohli
Kohli is on a roll and packs a punch as we saw in the ICC International World T20
series 2016 for which he was named ‘player of the tournament’. His brand value is
bolstered by his endorsements, youth-icon image and his aggressive game on the field.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (Captain)
Best stats: He scored 82 runs off 52 balls in the WT20 match against Australia and has
called it his best innings so far.
2. Dwayne John Bravo
Playing for the Chennai Super Kings till 2015, Bravo has already established himself as
an all-rounder.
In January 2015, Bravo announced his retirement from Test cricket though he continues
shining in ODI’s and T20 series. He is the only man to have won two purple caps (2013
and 2015). Purple caps are awarded annually in IPL to the highest wicket taker of the
season.
Gujarat Lions

2. Best stats: He took 32 wickets (2013) and 27 wickets (2015) in the IPL playing for
Chennai Super Kings earning him two purple caps.
3. Chris Gayle
A Jamaican left hander and an all-rounder, Chris Gayle got a black mark on his first
ever senior tour in 2000. He is one of the only four players in the world who scored two
triple centuries in Test series.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
Best stats: Gayle holds the record for the most centuries in T20 cricket. He scored 17
centuries which is 10 more than the previous record holder Brendan McCullum.

3. 4. Yuvraj Singh
Yuvraj Singh has enough skill in him to take India to victory single-handedly when he is
on form. He is considered a limited overs specialist. In the WT20 2016, he sustained an
injury to his ankle and this may affect his presence in the first few weeks of the IPL
series.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Best stats: In 2012 against Pakistan, he hit 72 runs off 36 balls. out of which he
smashed seven sixes out of which three were consecutive.
5. Carlos Brathwaite
An IPL debutant, he was key to the WT20 victory of West Indies this year. He is a hard-
hitting all rounder.
Delhi Daredevils

4. Best stats: He hit four consecutive sixes in the last over of the WT20 final against
England taking West Indies to an impressive victory.
6. Suresh Raina
The highest run-scorer in IPL history, Suresh Raina is a force to be reckoned with. He is
a left-hander and can swing big shots at the top of his form.
Gujarat Lions (Captain)
Best numbers: His batting average in T20 is 5927 and he is the third batsman in the
world to hit a T20I century.
7. Jasprit Bumrah
His bowling style has been called unorthodox and batsmen find it hard to pick him
quickly. He is relatively new compared to the other names on this list but he was picked
up by the Mumbai Indians even before his T20 debut in 2016.
Mumbai Indians

5. Best stats: Out of 18 deliveries he bowled at the Asia Cup 2016 against Pakistan, 16
were dots. A dot ball in cricket is a delivery that conceded no runs and is therefore
recorded with a dot.

becoming one of the most expensive players auctioned this year. The 34-year old is an
all-rounder and is a right-handed player.
Royal Challengers Bangalore

three times in T20I
9. Andre Russell

shows his prowess in limited over matches. He was the star of IPL 2015, playing with
Kolkata Knight Riders and he was declared 'Man of the series'.

formats.
