10 most stylish batsmen in IPL 2016

4) Rohit Sharma

Probably the most frustrating player on the planet to watch, Rohit Sharma was born to play pretty shots. He clears the field with ease not because of power-hitting but because of a sense of timing that is almost freakish.

When Rohit’s shots come off they look surreal and sublime. His offside drives between cover point and mid-off are as good as they get and from time to time he takes the aerial route as a release shot.

When in full flow, Rohit almost manages to be as elegant as the great VVS Laxman. If only he could conjure Laxman’s consistency as well. He had a good year, although Mumbai Indians faltered. Rohit scored 489 runs at 44 with 5 half centuries in 14 innings winning quite a few games leading from the front.
