All-rounders

There is more than one way to skin a cat and in battle, there is no course of action that will necessarily lead to victory at every turn. Different strategies are needed and as a result, you need to have different weapons in your arsenal that can help you bathe in the sweet sea of victory.

One such weapon for the pride of lions, who will be looking for their third IPL title, is Kedar Jadhav. Whether it is finishing the game with the bat or bowling at awkward angles that few would have practiced against, the diminutive dynamo affords Dhoni's side the option of going with an extra batsman or bowler.

At times, just because you know what the threat is, it doesn't mean that you can stop it or even reduce its impact. Much like Arjen Robben's single trick of cutting in from the left and shooting, Dwayne Bravo has one obvious skill he keeps going back to, the slower ball.

Everyone in the world knows what is coming, including the batsmen and yet they still fall for it. That speaks volumes about the skills that he possesses and the West Indian's ability to deceive even if everything seems so obvious.
