IPL: Greatest all-time XI consisting of one-club men

Middle Order: Shaun Marsh, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wk)

Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer are part of a wonderfully balanced Delhi Capitals side

Shaun Marsh is arguably the Kings XI Punjab's greatest player ever, and won the Orange Cap in the inaugural IPL season. The Australian has scored 2,447 runs in 71 games for the team at an incredible average of 39.95, but has gone unsold in the last three IPL auctions.

Delhi Capitals (DC) captain Shreyas Iyer led his team to the playoffs last season, and will be looking to take his team one step further this year. Having been with the team since 2015, the Indian ODI No. 4 has scored 1,681 runs in 62 games at an average of 30.56.

The explosive Rishabh Pant dons the gloves in this XI, and in 4 years with DC, he has scored 1,736 runs in just 54 games at an average of 36.16 and strike rate of 162.69. The wicket-keeper will look to make himself an Indian cricket team regular with his performances in the 2020 IPL, especially now that former Indian captain MS Dhoni has retired.

Fast-bowling all-rounders: Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard

Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard form the backbone of the Mumbai Indians middle order

Mumbai Indians all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard are two of the most dynamic players in the IPL, owing to their destructiveness with the bat, handiness with the ball and electricity in the field.

The younger Pandya brother has been with MI since 2015, and forms the Indian backbone of the team alongside Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah. In 66 games, he has scored 1,068 runs and picked up 42 wickets, along with as many as 43 catches.

Pollard, on the other hand, has been part of the MI setup since 2010 and has played a key role in all 4 IPL title triumphs. The West Indian has tallied 2,755 runs in 148 games to go with his 56 wickets, and has won many a match single-handedly for MI.
