The Indian Premier League commenced in 2008 and completed its 10th edition in 2017. In its decade of existence, a huge assortment of players have made an appearance. Cricketing veterans such as Glenn McGrath, Sanath Jayasuriya, Stephen Fleming and Matthew Hayden to name a few have featured in the prestigious tournament that is the IPL.

A - AB de Villiers

Mr. 360 aka AB de Villers has shaped to be one of the most popular figures in the IPL. He can truly call the Chinnaswamy home considering the love he is shown there. His stints for the Delhi Daredevils and Royal Challengers Bangalore have been outstanding. It is quite unfortunate that this fabulous cricketer is yet to lay his hands on the coveted trophy.

Matches - 129, Runs - 3473, Average - 38.16, Strike Rate - 148.16

 

B - Brendon McCullum

New Zealand great Brendon McCullum being bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore for the 2018 season. Brendon McCullum scores 158 runs for KKR in the first season of IPL.

Matches - 103, Runs - 2754, Average - 28.10, Strike Rate - 131.08

 

C - Chris Gayle

Chris Gayle had an inauspicious start to the IPL with the Knight Riders and went unsold in the 2011 auctions owing to his poor performances. A Dirk Nannes injury saw him join the Royal Challengers Bangalore as a replacement, and he never looked back. The big man has scored five centuries and played some unbelievable knocks in the IPL, and has truly mind boggling stats.

Matches - 101, Runs - 3626, Average - 41.20, Strike Rate - 151.20

 

D - David Warner

David Warner has won two orange caps in the last three seasons, having finished runner up in the third. He captained the Sunrisers to the title in 2016. His ability to provide explosive starts consistently is priceless and his superb stats speak for themselves.

Matches - 114, Runs - 4014, Average - 40.54, Strike Rate - 142.13
