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.
Trending
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.
