#5 Andrew Symonds
Deccan Chargers’ most expensive signing in the inaugural IPL, Andrew Symonds was picked by the franchise due to his big hitting abilities and tremendous agility on the field.
Add to that his smart bowling which could oscillate between off-spin and medium pace and you had a player tailor-made for this format of the game.
For three seasons with the DC, he didn’t disappoint either. Some match turning innings with the bat and tight spells with the ball went a long way in helping his team clinch the title in 2009. The highlight of his IPL career was a brutal 11 not out off just 53 deliveries in the first IPL against the Rajasthan Royals.
