IPL 2017: Top 5 overseas players

#2 Glenn Maxwell

Maxwell did his part with the bat and led his side well

Captain of Kings XI Punjab, Maxwell is always a delight to watch. Punjab had a good start this season but failed to make it to the top four. The Australian all-rounder put in some stellar performances against RCB, KKR and RPS. Despite criticism regarding Punjab being inconsistent, Maxwell led his side well and put a lot of faith on the Indian bowling contingent.

He bagged the YES Bank Maximum Season Award — for the most number of sixes in the tournament by hitting 26 sixes. He also earned the title of having the highest strike rate among players with 1000 IPL runs.

The Aussie scored 310 runs and his off-breaks came in handy as he picked seven wickets in 14 matches. KXIP also put the highest total of the season (230) and Maxwell played a key hand in the middle overs by smashing 47 of 21 balls.
