Top Wicket-Keeper picks

1) Rishabh Pant –  This left-handed batsman’s skill set and the expertise required by the IPL are perfectly aligned. He’s a powerful puncher who can easily cross the ropes and land a variety of punches.

Matches – 130

Runs – 3842

Average – 32.54

Top 4 Batsman Picks

1) Ruturaj Gaikwad – Gaikwad is a free-striking opener whose style is based on fluidity. Early on, his ability to remain calm and risk-free while scoring at a decent rate garnered attention. He bats with subtle touches and timing rather than the new power-hitting module used by most rookie hitters.

Matches – 55

Runs – 1709

Average – 35.60

2) Shikhar Dhawan – Dhawan, a left-handed opener by nature, has been a cornerstone of Delhi’s line-up for years and leads an unstoppable top-order. He is strong on the off-side with his cuts and drives due to his side-on stance and minimal trigger movement.

Matches – 301

Runs – 8732

Average – 32.58

3) Faf Du Plessis –  His traditional, all-conditions technique and relentless approach at the crease make him a tremendous asset in the age of T20 cricket. His adaptability is also a tribute to his capacity to hit it big.

Matches – 264

Runs – 6758

Average – 30.85

4) Prithvi Shaw – Shaw possesses a god-given ability to time the cricket ball, with a low grip and a heavily bottom-handed approach, as well as a superb bat-swing. His strong stroke play, quick footwork, and unwavering consistency earned him a spot on the team.

Matches – 65

Runs – 1601

Average – 24.63

Top 4 Bowler Picks

1) Anrich Nortje – Anrich is a speedster with a reputation for being a tearaway. He’s tall, swift, and always seems to be in the middle of nowhere, moving at a fast pace. He is the ultimate white-ball cricketer because of his predilection for bowling yorkers.

Matches – 58

Wickets – 71

Economy – 7.35

2) Kagiso Rabada – Rabada can swing the ball conventionally, but he prefers to use scrambled seam deliveries to make the ball appear to be off the wicket. He’s the closest thing we’ve got to a ‘perfect combination.’

Matches – 128

Wickets – 170

Economy – 7.89

3) Shardul Thakur – He has gained outstanding skills over the years, notably bowling as an outswinger, which he excels at. Because of his ability to maintain seam placements while maintaining his pace, he poses a significant threat to batsmen all over the world.

Matches – 120

Wickets – 142

Economy – 8.51

4) Josh Hazlewood – With his steady precision, he has smothered countless batters, and he has also worked to adapt his arsenal to the format. He’ll be eager to make an impression and prove his versatility as a bowler.

Matches – 55

Wickets – 63

Economy – 7.51

Top 3 All-rounder Picks

1) Dwayne Bravo – Because of his versatility, he was one of the most sought-after names in T20 leagues. Bravo bowled like a classic seam bowler, but he was particularly effective in the slog overs of the innings, which was crucial to his team’s success.

Matches – 505

Runs – 6601

Average – 23.83

Wickets – 549

Economy – 8.20

Runs – 2813

Average – 25.1

Wickets – 174

Economy – 7.60

3) Ravichandran Ashwin – With his street-smart exploits in the IPL, Ashwin exploded into the scene, opening the bowling at the death and coming on when wickets were needed. He is an important and critical pick for the upcoming match.
