The months of April and May bring along a lot of joy and entertainment. Yes, it is the time of the fun-filled summer vacations. However, the added delight comes with the commencement of the cricket festival in India – the Indian Premier League. The IPL will be in its 11th season and has come a long way since it started in 2008. Lets take a look at 5 coolest cricketer in the IPL History.
5. Suresh Raina
No doubt, Suresh Raina continues to be an enigma in Indian colors but he is unarguably a legend in the IPL. He is like one of those stars who suddenly becomes a superstar every time the IPL starts. He enjoys the IPL the most and his outstanding numbers bear testimony to that.
4. AB De Villiers
Former Proteas skipper AB De Villiers can do almost anything with a bat in hand. There is no other cricketer in the world who possesses such extraordinary range of shots. He can play the scoop, the reverse lap, the mighty hoick, the switch-hit and almost everything an imaginative cricket brain can think of and he can play them effortlessly.
3. David Miller
Kings XI Punjab former skipper Miller is someone who plays under the shadows of Amla, De Villiers and Du Plessis for his country but becomes extremely dangerous in the Punjab jersey. And just like Raina, he was leading his franchise for the first time in previous season.
2. Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma has led Mumbai Indians commendably ever since he took over captaincy from Ricky Ponting few seasons back. His team has made Wankhede their fortress and his leadership in the IPL has been exemplary to say the least.
1. MS Dhoni
With Chennai Super Kings suspended for a couple of years, Dhoni will be seen captaining the Sanjiv Goenka owned Rising Pune Super Giants. Don’t be surprised if Chennai Super Kings lift their third IPL trophy on the night of May 27 under Dhoni’s leadership.
