SRH-DAVID WARNER The Aussie has to be SRH's best buy. He has won two Orange caps playing for the team and led the side to the 2016 IPL title A ferocious opener, Warner has been at his best playing for the Orange Army. There are very few that can match his consistency.



CSK-MS DHONI Chennai went big with MS and the returns have been extraordinary. He has played 9 seasons for the side and has scored 3,442 runs for the team. Dhoni has been a valuable

asset for CSK and has won several matches for them over the years. Not just that. Dhoni has also led the side to three IPL titles apart from leading them to 3 finales. His magic with the bat and behind the stumps is a treat for many.



KXIP-SHAUN MARSH The maiden Orange Cap winner Marsh was one player who thrived at KXIP. He represented the club for 9 seasons and missed out in 2009 and 2018. 2,477 runs from 71 matches are

no mean feat. A ton and 20 fifties make him the best player of this team to ever have.

DD-AMIT MISHRA DD has been one of the most inconsistent sides of the IPL They have gone for a strong overhaul of teams in almost all the auctions. But one player that has been a mainstay of the side is spinner Amit Mishra. After appearing for the franchise in 2008, Mishra plied his trade for DC and SRH, before moving back to DD in 2015. He has been a regular wicket-taker and is a prominent figure.

RCB-VIRAT KOHLI RCB haven't won the IPL title, but they have had the talisman Kohli to play wonderfully for them over the years. He has been a terrific run-machine for the side and has represented them every season of the IPL. A loyal entity - Kohli has seen success as a batsman. He has 4.948 runs in the IPL and has the most runs by a player for a single team. 4 hundred included in that shows his specialty.

KKR-SUNIL NARINE The West Indies mystery spinner was bought by KKR in the year 2012. Since then he has featured in 98 matches for the side, besides picking 112 wickets. Off late, he has also turned out to be a valuable opener scoring 224 and 357 runs over the last 2 years. Narine's tremendous application with the ball has handed KKR impetus in recent seasons. He played a big role in the dual title winnings campaigns

RR-SHANE WARNE RR won the inaugural title under the leadership of Shane Warne. Since then the side hasn't some strong and despite many players coming in, the impact that Warne had wasn't met

by anyone. Warne stayed 4 years at the club and picked 57 wickets. But he will always be remembered as someone who set the standards in IPL.
