Shaun Marsh was the winner of the orange cap in the very first season of the IPL

Shaun Marsh won the orange cap in the very first season of the IPL for KXIP. Interestingly, he is one of the few overseas players to play for only one franchise.

He scored 616 runs at an astonishing average of 68.44 and helped KXIP finish second on the points table.

He is a rare overseas player who plays spin quite well. Marsh is an excellent timer of the ball and relies on timing rather than power.

He has scored close to 2500 runs in the IPL at a career average of almost 40. His knock of 115 against RR in 2008 was magnificent to watch.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t picked in this year’s auction, but he is a class act and would have slotted into any team easily.
