#4 AB De Villiers

AB de Villiers announced his retirement from the international game last evening. The South African will only play domestic cricket and was in good knick for the RCB again but failed to qualify for the playoffs yet again.
Having scored 480 runs in 12 games this season, de Villiers had a staggering strike rate of 174.59. With a higher strike rate than Pant, the South African could pip the young Indian to the award.
The former South African captain has struck 39 fours and 30 sixes in the tournament and is one of the greatest players in modern cricket.
