#3 SHIKHAR DHAWAN
The moustache-twirling, flamboyant batsman from Delhi made a sensational debut against Australia in 2013, scoring a rapid 187 as an opener. Since then, he has established a permanent place for himself in the Indian line-up in all the three formats. The 30-year old averages over 40 in both Tests and ODIs.
Part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad, first-time champions in this IPL, Dhawan assisted David Warner with crucial contributions at the top of the order. He is also one of the only seven Indian batsmen with more than 3000 runs in the IPL (over all seasons).
