Top 5 players from yesteryear who would have set the IPL on fire had they played

#2 Kapil Dev

Kapil Dev's inswingers and outswingers in the powerplay would have had been tough to play

Kapil Dev’s place in history is already fixed, but what if he played in the IPL? The Most Valued Player (MVP) award would obviously every year go to him. A team whose all-rounders are struggling like MI would really love someone like Kapil Dev in the middle-order. Already a household name, Dev would surely make any IPL side.

First of all, he was a rare commodity- Indian fast bowling all-rounder. A charismatic captain as well Kapil Dev would make any team for either only his bowling or only his batting. Only player in the history of cricket with 9000 runs and 600 wickets he would definitely have become a success in the IPL. Batting in the middle order, he would have been the perfect allrounder. Rotating the strike and hitting the odd boundary and when required even start slogging would be his mantra. Opening the bowling in the power-play his swing would be difficult to counter. Not to forget his fielding, who can forget his unbelievable running catch in the 1983 World Cup?
