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

#1 Viv Richards

Vivian Richards terrorized bowling attack in his time

If there is one word to describe the IPL and Sir Viv Richards “Entertaining” would be my best bet. If Viv Richards was batting and playing in the modern era then there is no doubt that T-20 cricket would best suit him. A team filled with superstars, RCB would really love someone like Richards to open the batting. Seeing how he faces T20 specialists like Rashid Khan and Jasprit Bumrah would have really been interesting.

Famously known for his swagger on and off the pitch, the great Sir Viv was an aggressive-minded batsman. I think devastating for the bowlers were be an apt representation of Richards. Having a strike rate of 90+ in the 70s and 80s was no mean feat. At the top of the order, he would have taken the responsibility to make proper use of the powerplay. Also as an aggressive captain, he would have led any side from the front. He had also scored the record for the fastest century in 56 balls before it was broken by Misbah-ul-Haq. So there is no doubt that Viv Richards occupies the No.1 position in our list.
