All Rounders
Shane Watson
This enigmatic all-rounder was an integral part of the Rajasthan Royals squad for 8 years from 2008-2015 and was one of the most effective all-rounders in the tournament.
It was the 2008 edition of the IPL which led to the revival of Watson’s career which had been hampered by injuries till then. In the very first season, he scored 472 runs at an average of 47.20 and picked up 17 wickets as well and by doing so received the Man of the Tournament award.
Trending
He joined the Royal Challengers Bangalore last season and while he was not too effective with the bat, he was one of the most effective bowlers for RCB with 20 wickets to his name.
Kieron Pollard
Kieron Pollard’s ability as a hard-hitting all-rounder came to light after his success with West Indian side Trinidad and Tobago in the Champions League T20 back in 2009.
His success at the tournament led to him being picked up by the Mumbai Indians in 2010 and he has proved to be one of the most effective all-rounders for them over the years.
He has finished many matches for Mumbai and has proved to be an effective bowler as well. He has also taken a few spectacular catches over the years and has been involved in a lot of banter on the field with opposition cricketers.
Albie Morkel
This 35-year-old veteran played an integral role in the success of the Chennai Super Kings from 2008-13. He made an impact with the bat and the ball in his very first season in 2008 with 240 runs and 17 wickets to his name.
He continued to perform well for CSK over the next few years as well playing the role of a finisher and an impact bowler. No one will ever forget his match-winning knock against RCB in 2012 when he smashed Virat Kohli for 28 runs in the penultimate over of the game to take his side to victory.
He has not played too many matches over the past two years and has sort of gone of the radar but will be looking to turn his fortunes around when he takes the field for the Rising Pune Supergiant franchise this year.
Dwayne Bravo
A hard-hitting batsman and an extremely effective bowler, especially at the death, DJ Bravo is one of the most sought after cricketers in the world when it comes to T20 cricket.
He began his IPL career playing for the Mumbai Indians and was an integral part of their squad for the first three years after which he was bought by the Chennai Super Kings.
He proved to be one of the most effective bowlers for them and even picked up the Purple Cap in 2013 after picking up 32 wickets.
