IPL 2016: Team of the tournament

David Warner

AB de Villiers

AB de Villiers

If Virat Kohli was the knight, de Villiers was the able lieutenant who stuck by and smashed when it mattered the most.

He too scored a century but the innings that will be remembered by all will be the 79 runs he scored against Gujarat Lions in qualifier 1. His team was tottering at 68/6 chasing 158 and he turned it all around all by himself. He had able support from Iqbal Abdulla, but his breath-taking audacity showed everyone why is he is the best batsman in the world currently.

In 16 matches, AB scored 687 runs at an average of 52.84 and with a strike-rate of 168.79.

Even Virat Kohli said that his innings should answer all debates as to who the best batsman is in the world.
