10 most stylish batsmen in IPL 2016

3) Ajinkya Rahane

Rahane on his day plays like a dream, with Ganguly’s off-side game and Dravid’s onside game, including a ferocious pull and an efficient hook shot. T20 was never supposed to be his forte but he has settled down nicely, playing lovely lofts on the offside and great on-drives, not to mention his trademark straight drives down the ground and some ferocious square cuts and back-foot punches.

Although he finished on the losing side more often than not this year with the Rising Pune Supergiants, he still managed to be the seventh most prolific run-getter with 480 runs at an average of 43 with a strike rate of 126 in 14 innings. He scored 6 half-centuries too, ending up without too much support from the other side.
