15 Best Images from IPL 9 - Morris takes a tumble, ABD under attack, Dhoni's scream

Upper cuts galore

The IPL has always been a hotbed for innovative shots, and there were many played this year as well. Young Sarfaraz Khan showed himself to be a brilliant improviser in his limited opportunities, while Jos Buttler and AB de Villiers were doing what they do best.

Ajinkya Rahane, seen here playing the upper cut, lay down his credentials to be considered as India’s limited overs opener, finishing as the tournament’s 6th highest run-getter, with 480 runs from 14 matches.
