10 most stylish batsmen in IPL 2016

6) Murali Vijay

One of the biggest strategic mistakes of the season was Kings XI Punjab picking David Miller as the skipper. It affected his form and Punjab ended with the Wooden Spoon. Murali Vijay showed himself in good light as a skipper in the latter part and would have saved his team the ignominy of the last spot finish if not for the horrendous decision to have Axar Patel bowl the last over to MS Dhoni.

Nevertheless, Vijay is one of India’s most stylish players improving year after year. Nicknamed The Monk, for his patience, Vijay scored 453 runs this year at 35 with 5 half-centuries. Vijay rarely hits the cover off the ball, caressing it more often along the ground. The Mohali track suits his style of play too, as he used the pace of the bowler often.
