The shortest format of the cricket-T20 is a format where the bits and pieces players can survive, as opposed to Tests, which demands the presence of specialists in each department. The value of a genuine all-rounder soars immensely in T20's as they give the team the much-required balance and flexibility.
Every team that wants to do well makes sure that they have a pool of good all-rounders to chose from, making them in huge demand in the T20 format. Let's have a look at all-rounders who have managed to achieve the double of scoring more than 1000 runs as well as picking up 50 wickets or more in the history of the IPL.
