#3 MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni, one of the best wicket-keeper batsmen in the world has ever seen, packs a punch in whatever he does. Helping Chennai Super Kings to titles in 2010, 2011 and 2018, Mahi has always led from the front. He is, still, one of the most feared batsmen of the finishing stages.

#2 AB de Villiers

Mr. 360 moved to Royal Challenger Bangalore (RCB) from Delhi Daredevils after a quiet IPL stint, and what a player he has been for the side. If it wasn’t for Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, RCB would have been half a team they are at the moment.
